Lab 3 SCC 251 Isolation of Caffeine from Tea Leaves
Organic Chemistry I SCC 251
Abstract:
In today’s lab we will extract all the caffein from black tea leaves. Extraction is a common technique that is used to isolate a target compound from a solid or liquid mixture by using an appropriate solvent. We will use a melting point to make sure we have pure caffeine as our final product. In this extraction we had a Separation of layers, which was successful, we were able to obtain an organic layer with caffeine. After obtaining the organic layer. We fully dried and crystalized the product. When fully drying product we tested the melting point making sure it was similar to literature value
Protocol:
1.
Start a hot water bath to start caffeine extraction using a hot plate
2.
Use 250mL beaker, add 30mL of H
2
O and 2 tea bags (Stock Solution)
3.
Brew solution on hot plate make sure that water doesn’t escape.
4.
After brewing put tea into separation funnel 5.
Add 2mL of CH

CI

into the separation funnel of stock solution, 6.
Solution will start to separate into two different layers, one layer would be the organic layer and
the second layer would be the tea.
7.
Extract the organic layer in a separate beaker.
8.
Repeat steps 5-7 two more times in order to have 6mL of Organic and caffeine.
9.
Place organic solute in a Buchner funnel to dry and obtain caffeine crystals.
10.
After fully drying caffeine teste for melting point
Figure 1. Caffeine structure
Results:
After the protocol is performed and the purified caffeine is extracted successfully, we verify its purity by taking the melting point and comparing it to literature value. An accurate melting is close

A 0.1 g amine-containing compound is dissolved in water then diluted to 100 mL. You subject it to spectroscopic analysis, in order to get the concentration of amine in this compound. Next, you get 1 mL of the previously diluted sample then dilute it again to 250 mL for measurement. Then, you fill 3/4 of a 1-cm cuvette with this diluted sample, and you run an analysis using an AAS. The recorded absorbance is 0.545 at 410 nm. What is the molecular weight of the compound? (The molar absorptivity is 1.23 x 104 cm-1 mol-1 L.)

Tom, an analytical chemist, bought a bag of decaffeinated coffee from a grocery store. However,Tom suspected that he might have received regular coffee and therefore decided to analyze hiscoffee for caffeine. In the lab, he took 0.5 mL of the brewed coffee and diluted it in water tomake a 100.0 mL solution. He performed four analyses and found the concentrations to be 4.69,3.99, 4.12, and 4.50 mg/L, respectively. (Assume the density of all solutions is 1.000 g/mL,1oz= 28.35 mL).(a) Report the concentration (in mg/L) of caffeine in the brewed coffee using the format asaverage ± standard deviation. (Note this is not the concentration in the diluted solution.)(b) Look up the caffeine content of regular vs. decaffeinated coffee. Do you think that Tom wasgiven the wrong type of coffee?(c) Caffeine intake of 300 mg per day reportedly has no adverse effects in the vast majority ofthe adult population.

You obtain an Unknown Sample from the Stockroom. You begin testing the solution through the steps outlined in the flowchart of the experiment’s PDF file. You first add HCl and centrifuge your mixture. You observe the formation of a white precipitate in the bottom of the test tube. After pouring off the supernatant liquid, you add hot water to the white precipitate. Addition of the hot water dissolves some of the precipitate, but some white precipitate still remains on the bottom of the test tube. You pour off the supernatant liquid, and add ammonia (NH3) to the remaining precipitate. You now observe the formation of a gray-black precipitate.
Which of the following is a valid conclusion to draw at this point?
Select one:
Hg22+ is definitely present.
Pb2+ is definitely present.
Ag+ could be present, or Hg22+ could be present, or BOTH could be present.

You want to determine the concentration of NaCl in a water. In preliminary analysis, it appears to be saline water with a NaCl content of approximately 4%. Should you dilute the sample if your titrant has a concentration of 0.1 M and you want to spend 25 mL of sample?
Solution: You must dilute approximately ten times, taking 10 mL of sample and making up to 100 mL. In this way, 17.20 mL of titrant will be spent.
