摘要: 升华是“从茶叶中提取咖啡因”实验的关键步,这一步由于在蒸发皿里完成,学生在整个加热过程中不能直观地观察升华完成的全过程,并且由于加热温度不易控制导致部分学生的样品由于温度过低根本就没有开始升华,或者由于温度过高有色杂质跟着一起升华出来,甚至直接碳化,使得产品不纯和损失。本文在升华时用玻璃器皿代替蒸发皿,学生可以清楚地观察升华过程中的现象,并且利用温敏试纸监测找到升华的最佳温度。“可视化”的融入,不仅有助于学生观察、记录实验现象,将实验现象和升华的温度关联起来,更重要的是培养学生理论和实践相结合的能力和解决问题的能力。

Abstract: Sublimation is a critical step in the extraction of caffeine from tea leaves. In traditional methods, this process occurs within an evaporating dish, which limits students’ ability to visually monitor the entire sublimation process during heating. Additionally, the difficulty in controlling the heating temperature can lead to various issues: some students may not initiate sublimation due to insufficient heat, while others may inadvertently cause colored impurities to sublime alongside the desired product, or even result in carbonization when the temperature is excessively high. This study introduces the use of glassware in place of evaporating dishes, allowing students to clearly observe the phenomena associated with sublimation. Furthermore, temperature-sensitive test papers are employed to identify the optimal sublimation temperature. The integration of “visualization” in this context not only aids students in observing and documenting experimental phenomena, but also establishes a connection between these observations and sublimation temperature. More importantly, it fosters students’ ability to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical application, thereby enhancing their problem-solving skills.
