Caffeine is one of many naturally occurring chemicals in tea plants that plays two important roles: protecting the plant from pr

edators while making its flowers appealing to pollinators such as bees. It is known to be soluble in both pure water and pure dichloromethane, but exhibits a preference towards one solvent over the other. Describe the procedural steps to perform a liquid-liquid extraction and isolation of solid caffeine from a sample of one commercial tea bag.

Caffeine is more soluble in dichloromethane and the both are separated by evaporating the solvent.

Caffeine is an organic plant material which is more soluble in non-polar solvents than in polar solvents. As such, caffeine is more soluble in dichloromethane than in pure water.

In order to carry out a liquid-liquid exaction of dichloromethane from a commercial teabag, the dichloromethane is mixed with water. The caffeine is found to be more soluble in the organic dichloromethane layer than in water.

The two solvents can now be separated using a separating funnel and the solution is evaporated to obtain the caffeine.

Write the appropriate symbol for each of the following isotopes: (a) Z 74, A 186; (b) Z 80, A 201; (c) Z 34, A 76; (d) Z 94, A 2
beks73 [17]

Answer:  a)  _{74}^{186}\textrm{W}

b) _{80}^{201}\textrm{Hg}

c)  _{34}^{76}\textrm{Se}

d) _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}

Explanation:

General representation of an element is given as:_Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

In an atom, when neutrons or protons are lost or gains, it directly affects the mass number of an atom.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

It is characteristic of a particular element.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of proton

a) Z 74, A 186: _{74}^{186}\textrm{W}

b) Z 80, A 201: _{80}^{201}\textrm{Hg}

c) Z 34, A 76: _{34}^{76}\textrm{Se}

d) Z 94, A 239.: _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}

1. write the complete chemical symbol for the ion with 14 protons 15 neutrons and 18 electrons
motikmotik

Answer:

1.   Si^{-4}

2.  Co^{+2}

Explanation:

An ion is formed when an atom that is said to be neutral gains or losses electrons.

It is thought that a negative ion (anion) is produced as it gains electrons and a positive ion (cation) is formed when it loses an electron.

Atomic number is the total number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom.

From the information

Protons = 14

electron = 18

Net Charge = no of proton - no of electron

= 14 - 18 = -4

Mass number = 14 + 15 = 29

Thus, the chemical symbol = Si^{-4}

For ion with 27 proton, 32 neutrons and 25 electrons

Net charge = 27 - 25 = +2

Mass number = 27 + 32 = 59

Thus, the chemical symbol = Co^{+2}
