Abstract: Experiment 55 consists of devising a separation and purification scheme for a three component mixture. The overall objective is to isolate in pure form two of the three compounds. This was done using extraction‚ solubility‚ crystallization and vacuum filtration. The experiment was carried out two times‚ both of which were successful. Background Information: This experiment combined all the knowledge of the previous labs performed throughout the semester. An unknown mixture containing

Purpose This experiment deals with separating substances. The objective was to become familiar with the methods of separating substances from one another using decantation‚ extraction‚ sublimation techniques. Brief Introduction This experiment was set to teach research students different methods of separating substances from one another. Materials that are not uniform in composition are set to be impure or heterogeneous and are called mixtures. The separation of the components of mixtures is

Isolation‚ purification and characterization of alkaloid caffeine from tea leaves Date Submitted: September 3‚ 2014 Abstract Caffeine is one of the main constituents of tea leaves. In this experiment‚ 0.0039 g of pure caffeine was isolated from tea leaves. This was done through solid-liquid extraction followed by multiple liquid-liquid extraction. Then crude material obtained was then purified by sublimation. The isolated caffeine was subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) together
