In this lab‚ caffeine was extracted from black tea‚ and green tea through a vacuum filtration‚ and a rotovap. The melting point of the sample of black tea was 219.12-236.05 ˚c‚ and for the green tea it was 176.22-227.6 ˚c. The % error of the melting point indicates how much error there was from the melting point taken experimentally. The % error of the melting point for black tea was 0.44%‚ and for green tea it is 3.15%.Since the theoretical melting point of caffeine is between 235-237 ˚c‚ we can

synthase‚ a special enzyme that helps the oxygen found in hemoglobin make its way into body tissue. High altitude also triggers an increase in our heartbeat‚ breathing and urination. The low humidity and low air pressure at high altitudes causes moisture from our skin and lungs to evaporate at a faster pace and our body’s increased exertion requires even more water to keep it hydrated. Besides that‚ less of oxygen also can cause a cluster of symptoms called altitude sickness. People living at or visiting

The main goal of this experiment was to employ isolation techniques to derive chemicals from two different natural sources and study their properties (Clement 91). The two natural sources used in this experiment were an orange (the peel contains limonene‚ which is a terpene) and a dichloromethane solution of clove oil (which contains eugenol‚ an acetogenin). To isolate the eugenol‚ 20 mL of dichloromethane solution of clove oil was extracted twice; each time with a 15 mL portion of 3M NaOH. The

Divination by Tea Leaves The divination of tea leaves began in the 17th century when tea became a very popular drink. As people began drinking their tea‚ they came up with tasseomancy‚ or tasseography‚ which is just a type of tea leaf divination. People prefer divination by tea leaves because it is the easiest and most accessible for everyday people. It is a form of scyring. First of all‚ Tea is poured into a cup without a strainer‚ and the inquirer contemplates their issue and then drinks all the tea. With

spinach leaves and extract the chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments by using acetone as the solvent. The chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments were extracted by using column chromography and alumina was used as the solvent. Solvents of different polarities were used‚ starting with the least polar‚ to extract the certain components from the leaves. They were then analyzed by using thin- layer chromatography. Procedure: The first part of the experiment dealt with breaking down the spinach leaves in a

Investigatory Project “Dried Banana (Musa Cavendish) Leaves as Mulch on Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Plants “ ABSTRACT Mulching in agricultural provides a safe yet equally profitable method of enriching and fertilizing the soil planted with crops. Most often-used mulches are of organic composition‚ such as dry leaves and barks. These organic mulches pose no or little damage to the soil and crops. This study deals with the effectiveness of dried banana leaves as organic mulch for tomato

Abstract This experiment focused on extracting and separating pigments of Chloroplast. For the procedure green leaves were grinded in a mortar with some chemicals and the fluid was filtrated to use for further analysis. Stripes of this solution were put on a filter paper and later‚ after dried placed into a beacon of solvent. After this the chloroplast pigments were separated by the solvent into groups of more or less soluble pigments. Aim How many pigment types are present in a green leaf? It

Isolation of Caffeine from Coffee Date of laboratory work: 10/9/2012 5:00-7:45 Date of report written: 10/15/2012 Introduction: The purpose is to isolate caffeine from coffee by using the organic solvent dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) that is also referred to as direct contact. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is used to remove the tannins from the coffee. Afterwards an extraction is used to separate the organic layer (bottom) from the aqueous layer (upper). By using a rotary evaporator
