Separating a Mixture using Evaporation:


Aim: We are trying to separate the mixture evaporating it.
Hypothesis: it will turn to crystals


Equipment: Copper sulfate solution, 250mL Beaker, heatproof mat, evaporating basin, element. 
Method: 
  1. Set up element
  2. Add 100mL of hot water to the beaker and place on the element.
  3. Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin until it is quarter full.
  4. Carefully, place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker. 
  5. Turn on the element to 8
  6. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming. 
  7. Turn off the element- careful not to touch as will be hot for a long time.


Observations: It is boiling
Conclusion: yes
Discussion
Evaluation: Did you enjoy the experiment? Why? What would you do differently next time?
