1. Outline a separation scheme for isolating caffeine from tea. Use a flowchart similar in format to that shown in Technique 2, Section 2.2. 2. Why was the sodium carbonate added in Experiment 13A? 3. The crude caffeine isolated from tea often has a green tinge. Why? 4. What are some possible explanations for why the melting point of your isolated caffeine was lower than the literature value (236°C)? 5. An alternative procedure for removing the tannins and gallic...
If each bag of Lipton black tea contains 55 mg of caffeine, what is the maximum amount of caffeine that you could extract from one using our procedure? Assume one bag and 40mL of tea-water at the end of initial solid-liquid extraction. The partition coefficient (K) for caffeine in methylene chloride is 7.2. How much caffeine could be extracted using our procedure if we had used ethyl acetate (K = 2.0) instead of methylene chloride? Explain why the amount does...
Introduction: The technique used to separate an organic compound from a mixture of compounds is called Extraction. Extraction process selectively dissolves one or more of the mixture compounds into a suitable solvent. The solution of these dissolved compounds is referred to as the Extract. Here the organic solvent dichloromethane is used to extract caffeine from an aqueous extract of tea leaves because caffeine is more soluble in dichloromethane (140 mg/ml) than it is in water (22 mg/ml). However, there are...
Would the methylene chloride layer be above or below the experiment? Justify your answer. 1. aqueous layer in today's ium carbonate used in the isolation of caffeine? Be specific as to the 2. Why is potass chemical species the carbonate may act on. Why was sodium sulfate used? 3. 4. After introducing 1.0 g of potassium carbonate into the centri hot water extract, it was capped, shaken, and then cooled to room temperature. Following this, roug minute. Why wasn't the...
Part A 1. If you had used more methylene chloride in each step, you could have extracted more caffeine. Explain why you did not. Hint - What step would have taken longer (Hint: not drying). PART A Mass of Beaker & Caffeine Mass of Beaker 167.750g 67.6809 Mass of Caffeine 0.0 75 Calculations. Show your work and circle the answers. Mass of caffeine recovered: 012919 b) Actual:.07 % caffeine recovered: a) Predicted: 9 7:213% b) Actual: 92.105% PART B Unknown...

Grignard Reaction with a Ketone: Triphenylmethanol Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to prepare phenylmagnesium bromide, a Grignard reagent, and react it with benzophenone to give triphenylmethanol. Grignard reagents are very reactive and must be synthesized in an environment free of water or any other source of potential proton donor. Once made, the Grignard reagent will do a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the ketone, benzophenone. The result is an alkoxide that is then protonated to give...
What is the theoretical yield (in grams) and percent yield of your
triphenylmethanol product in this experiment? (Weight of
triphenylmethanol: 0.060g)
BACKGROUND AND THEORY The Grignard reaction was one of the first organometallic reactions discovered and is still one of the most useful synthetically. By reacting an organohalide (usually a bromide) with magnesium in ethereal solvent, carbon becomes a nucleophile. Grignard reagents are the starting points for the syntheses of many alkanes, primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, alkenes, and carboxylic...
