The Boston Tea Party started at midnight on December 16‚ 1773. More than one hundred colonists called the Sons of Liberty threw about forty five tons of tea from British ships into Boston Harbor. This “protest” was a very justified act that showed confidence‚ determination‚ and bravery. Others believe that the act was unnecessary and the colonists went overboard (no pun intended) with their behavior‚ even though the colonists didn’t even damage the ships at all. This whole thing probably wouldn’t

EXTRACTION OF CAFFEINE FROM TEA LEAVES ABSTRACT Caffeine extraction from the commercial tea leaves (Lipton Yellow Label Tea) that was done is multiple extraction. 4 tea bags were used in the experiment; tea leaves were weighed having 8.5333 grams. The leaves were boiled in a beaker with 150ml of water; the aqueous tea extract was transferred in a seperatory funnel mixed with DCM (20ml)‚ done thrice. The DCM layer was washed with 20ml 6M NaOH in the seperatory funnel; the organic layer

This drug is found in a number of things ingested by people. It belongs to a group of nitrogen bases called purines. Because caffeine possesses these base-like properties‚ it is described as an alkaloid. They usually taste bitter and often are physiologically

Abstract This work describes the extraction of caffeine from tea leaves to determine its % caffeine. The extraction process selectively dissolves one or more compounds in a mixture into an appropriate solvent. In this experiment‚ it was visible in the process wherein the components of the tea leaves were dissolved in two solvents‚ water and dichloromethane (DCM)‚ with DCM used for multiple extractions. The organic layer was evaporated and the determined % caffeine was 0.12%. Furthermore‚ the purified

collected‚ 5.758g of tea leaves contains 3.96% caffeine. After the purification process‚ 0.2279g of caffeine was obtained from 0.4948g crude extract with 46.06% yield. Melting point determination was used to characterize the caffeine yielded. However‚ the melting point range of the caffeine collected (190°C -215 °C) was lower than the melting point of the accepted value (238 °C) which may be due to experimental errors committed in the extraction and washing process.
