Chemistry Revision: Caffeine Extraction Process

The document describes two chemistry experiments. The first experiment involves extracting caffeine from coffee beans in a 6-stage process: 1) crushing beans, 2) dissolving soluble substances in hot water, 3) separating crushed beans from liquid, 4) extracting caffeine from water using trichloromethane, 5) crystallizing caffeine from the solution, 6) checking purity of crystals. The second experiment prepares iron(II) sulfate solution in 3 stages: reacting excess iron powder with sulfuric acid, identifying apparatus used, and boiling the resulting solution which causes the color to change.

SUBJECT: CHEMISTRY REVISION CLASS TOTAL MARKS: 17

NAME:……………………………........... Class: IX DATE:___/___/____

1. ​Coffee beans contain caffeine and other compounds. Caffeine is soluble in water and
in trichloromethane, an organic solvent.
A student obtained crystals of caffeine by the following method.

Stage 1 Some coffee beans were crushed into small pieces.

Stage 2 Hot water was added to the crushed beans to dissolve the soluble

substances. Stage 3 The crushed beans were separated from the liquid solution.

Stage 4 The liquid was allowed to cool and shaken with trichloromethane to extract
the caffeine from the water.

Stage 5 The caffeine was crystallised from the trichloromethane

solution. Stage 6 The caffeine crystals were checked for purity.

(a) What apparatus should be used to crush the beans in Stage 1?

...................................................................................................................................................
[2] (b) How could the dissolving process in Stage 2 be speeded up?

...................................................................................................................................................
[1] (c) Draw a diagram of the apparatus used in Stage 3.

2. ​A student reacted excess iron powder with sulfuric acid to prepare a solution of
iron(II) sulfate.
The diagram shows the procedure followed in three stages.
(a) Complete the
boxes to identify the pieces of apparatus labelled. [2] (b) How would the student know when
all of the sulfuric acid had reacted? Give two reasons.
