Abstract

An activity for nicotine extraction and detection in tobacco. The procedure is based on the extraction of nicotine from tobacco, followed by the reaction between nicotine with Co(II) and Cu(II) ions. A qualitative experiment is proposed in order to demonstrate and visualize the presence of nicotine in tobacco and to demonstrate metal-nicotine complexes formation and their mass spectrometry (ESI) analysis.

Keywords

nicotine, qualitative analysis, mass spectrometry (ESI), metal complex, naked-eye experiment, tobacco, first-year undergraduate/general, general public, high school/introductory chemistry
