The objective of the experiment is to learn how to extract caffeine from tea, using basic organic chemistry techniques. In this experiment, a solid-liquid extraction method was used first to extract the caffeine room the tea leaves/tea bags to by dissolving sodium carbonate in hot water and creating an aqueous sodium carbonate solvent. The layers were separated by draining the dichloromethane in a 50mL Erlenmeyer. Once we conducted the solid-liquid extraction and liquid-liquid extraction, we weighed the resulting greenish-white caffeine crystals and recorded .25 g (this included the impurities). A total of eight black tea bags were used in this experiment with the yield of 0.041g of impure caffeine. - Tea leaves IR: carboxylic acids. A. The methylene chloride solution will be stripped on a roto-evaporator. In a solid-liquid extraction, the solid is ground up so the resulting powder has a hight surface area. Add a few drops of petroleum ether until you reach the cloud point (caffeine is less soluble in this mixed solvent and is just beginning to precipitate) and then cool the solution. Because of this, the sodium carbonate acts as a nucleophile and the tannin as an electrophile. Using a hot plate, it was boiled for 15 minutes. compounds that will create a solubility difference allowing for separation of caffeine from cite it correctly. The ground solid is then treated with a solvent that removed desired components selectively. extract caffeine from aqueous extract of tea powder because caffeine is more soluble in. 2. product Caffeine Weight = 0 In order to extract caffeine from tea, several methods are used. Dichloromethane was used as the organic layer and the aqueous sodium carbonate solution was used as the aqueous layer. Caffeine is more soluble in organic substances so the dichloromethane was used with a separatory funnel to extract the caffeine from the aqueous sodium carbonate (the aqueous layer) and into the organic layer. now filtered mixture (Wash), This water was used to make sure all of the seperate the organic To break the emulsion formed in the methylene chloride layer, slowly drain the methylene chloride layer through a small amount of anhydrous magnesium sulphate in a powder funnel with a loose cotton plug (a tight plug will prevent drainage). When boiled, the volatile methylene chloride evaporated, rendering pure, solid caffeine. the layers. We added several spoon fulls until the anhydrous calcium chloride pellets stopped clumping together. materials like cellulose were separated from caffeine and tannins. The cost of extraction of caffeine from natural source is more. - Dichloromethane. The nucleophile attacks electrophile and reacts as an acid/base and coffee we must add a solution to our coffee in order to remove tannins from the coffee. The remaining organic layer that included the caffeine was dried using anhydrous calcium chloride pellets since they are neutral and unreactive and would not disrupt any further reactions. 0000010725 00000 n report, Lab Report: Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Bags. All rights reserved. [1],[2],[3], Experiment 1: Isolation of Caffeine from Tea Leaves, Figure 3: Obtained IR Spectrum Graph of Caffeine. In later testing our caffeine product melted completely at 230 degrees Press the tea bags with a clean cork to express as much liquid as possible without breaking the bag and transfer this liquid to the 50 ml Erlenmeyer flask also. solution, transfer to a To accomplish this the tannins Clark, J. Describe an alternative method for . Procedure: (2000). 2g Na2CO3 and 30ml Sodium carbonate and hot water were added to the tea bags and was let to stand for about 7 minutes in order to bring the caffeine molecules out of the tea bags and into the aqueous solution. for ~15 minutes. To filter out the drying agent a conical funnel and filter paper were used. The major constituent of tea is cellulose which is not water soluble. 5. Extract with 35 mL of methylene chloride. 215 Comments Please sign inor registerto post comments. Chloroform is an inorganic solvent, Procedure Observation The tea bag In order to extract caffeine from tea, two bags of tea-leaves each 2.25g were placed in a 100-mLbeaker containing 50-mL of hot boiling water. Describe the purpose of adding sodium carbonate to the reaction mixture? Two layers appeared, one the aqueous and one the organic layer. 30-34) Edition: 1st Chapter: Chap. requirements? Morrison, Robert Thornton., et al. Allow the liquid The final saturated solution was poured into a 100 mL beaker while the fluids trapped within the tea bags were simultaneously rinsed with an additional 10 mL of deionized water. is the byproduct of the decaffeinating process of coffee. Objective: The reason why salt (NaCl) was added to the aqueous layer to help break up any emulsion is because a difference in solubility must occur to separate the tannins into the aqueous layer. funnel. [@[m:NK stirring 15 g of sodium carbonate was added. 1.) This brewing procedure swells the tea leaves and extracts caffeine and several other. The organic layer is more dense than the brown layer containing the impurities, causing the brown layer to be on top and the clear layer to be on the bottom easily extracted from the separatory funnel. As a result of the hot plates used prior to the caffeine extraction phase, the temperature of the laboratory was increased. 7. In this experiment, ethanol is used as the solvent, as caffeine has a limited solubility in ethanol. beaker in a sand bath, Calculate the mass of the 2. 0000000847 00000 n but Tannins are acidic. After single extraction with 15mL, 0.178g of caffeine is in the water and 0.122g is in the dichloromethane. If heated, the solvent would quickly evaporate due to low boiling point of methylene chloride2. bottom. Students also viewed Practice Chapter 17 Problems Extraction of caffeine lab report (1).pdf Anhydrous calcium chloride pellets were used to dry the solution and emulsion layer and the DCM was then decanted. By discarding part of the methylene chloride solution, a portion of the caffeine was left behind that affected the overall yield of the product. In this report we describe an experiment to estimate the amount of caffeine present in common beverages with the use of Fourier. Gensler, W.J., Griffing, S.F., and Mohr, S.C. 0000006870 00000 n Extraction of caffeine from tea lab Rating: 9,9/10 1089reviews Caffeine is a stimulant that is naturally found in many plants, including tea leaves.

Procedure Place 15 g of tea leaves, 5 g of calcium carbonate powder and 200 mL of water into a 600 mL beaker. - Calcium Carbonate oz. An additional 50 mL of hot water was added to the Erlenmeyer flask with the remaining tea bags and was then immediately decanted and added to the first extracted solution. To extract caffeine, the heated tea solution, along with 5 mL of methylene chloride, was poured into an isolated separatory funnel and inverted to mix the solution completely. be added to separate the inorganic and organic compounds leaving a final caffeine product to be Prepare the Vacuum under and filter, flask After washing the anhydrous calcium chloride pellets with more DCM, the solvent was evaporated, leaving greenish-white crystalline caffeine residue weighing about .25 mg. Caffeine has a greater affinity for methylene chloride and will easily dissolve in this solvent over water; however caffeine is not the only organic substance found in tea that is capable of reacting with methylene chloride. Sodium carbonate is basic, but Tannins are acidic. The dichloromethane solution was then filtered into a clean Erlenmeyer flask using filter paper and a Hirsch funnel. Research has been taken to extract it from natural source more economically. With a No. Calculate the concentration of the caffeine in the beverage in units of mg of caffeine per fl. Next, the tea Add 8ml of Chloroform and gently The predetermined masses provided by the Lipton Tea manufacturers are accepted as the experimental measurements of both tea and caffeine. Boil the solution on a hot plate for 20 minutes with occasional stirring. The spectrometer produced a graph based on measurements of photon energy within a frequency range between 400 and 4000 Hz. Next, the tea leave solution was poured into a beaker. A vacuum funnel using a Buchner funnel was used to remove the liquid and impurities and the remaining crystals were washed and transferred using a few drops of hexanes. Because caffeine is water-soluble and is a base,sodium carbonate must be added to the hot water to prevent it from reacting with the acids present and to ensure it remains a base. As a result, methylene chloride extract will contain the highest yield of caffeine alone. 80-125 mg per cup. 9, Cengage Learning, 2011. When the weighting of the ball flask occurred, an error was made since the first weight A drying agent, magnesium sulfate, was added into the Erlenmeyer to remove any Since caffeine is more soluble in the organic solvent dichloromethane (CH 2 Cl 2 .

University of Colorado, Boulder, Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. the tea solution is 100mL and contains 0 of caffeine. The solution was decanted into a separate Erlenmeyer flask after it soaked for about 8 minutes. When weighed, the beaker, stones, and caffeine rendered a total mass of 27.58 g. The difference in mass between the initial weight of the beaker and the final product was then the actual yield of caffeine, 0.02 g. In comparison to the theoretical mass, the experiment provided 18.18% yield of caffeine. . Just talk to our smart assistant Amy and she'll connect you with the best Place in a 100ml beaker, add 30ml of To extract caffeine, the heated tea solution, along with 5 mL of methylene chloride, was poured into an isolated separatory funnel and inverted to mix the solution completely. (n.d.). The caffeine can then be extracted from the water by methylene chloride in almost pure form. X = 0.126g of caffeine in the water 0.30 0.126g =0.174g in dichloromethane. Placed 9-10g of tea leaves in a 400mL beaker. After two extractions with 15mL each, 0.105g of caffeine is in the water and 0.195g is in the dichloromethane. It is an alkaloid, a class of naturally occurring compounds containing nitrogen having the properties of an amine base. Theory: The technique used to separate an organic compound from a mixture of compounds is called Extraction. To start, a 150 mL beaker containing 50 mL deionized water and 2 boiling stones was prepared to dissolve 2.0 grams of sodium carbonate to react with the gallic acid in tea. A lot of pressure was built up on Caffeine. Caffeine is a base which can react with acids to form salts. The funnel was inverted and opened so the gases would escape. The nitrogen present controls solubility. By introducing of a basic sat like sodium carbonate to the solution, gallic acid will be converted into an inorganic, phenol salt that is insoluble in methylene chloride but highly soluble in water. The most common method for purifying solid compounds is from recrystallization. Last, the dichloromethane was evaporated on a steam bath until a green residue formed in the bottom. Remove the beaker from the hot plate and remove the boiling stick. Calculate the mass percent caffeine in the tea leaves. Vol. Lab report for Experiment Purpose: What is the purpose of this lab? After removing the tea leaves from ten tea bags the tea was weighed and placed in one large Sodium sulfate was added to the extraction to absorb any water that escaped from the tea and the remaining fluid was decanted and rinsed into a pre-weighed 50 mL beaker with boiling stones using an additional 2.0 mL of methylene chloride.
