Aim: To separate mixture we have made using filtration.
Hypothesis: If we try and filter a only liquid mixture then nothing much would happen. When we mix them they will change to a blue tint colored. The mixture would go through the filter with nothing else happening. The things we are mixing in copper sulfate which is blue and sodium carbonate which is clear. I think it will go pale blue because one of the liquids is different and colored. Since they are both liquids they will not split and both go through the filter.
Equipment:
Sodium carbonate
Copper sulfate
Conical flask
Stirring Rod
200mL Beaker
Funnel
Filter paper
Method:
1. Pour approximately 50mL of copper sulfate solution into a beaker.
2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. A reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. Called copper carbonate.
3. Watch demo then fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel
4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask.
5. Stir the mixture in the beaker, then carefully pour it into the funnel.
6. Observe what happened.
Observation: When we mixed the the copper sulfate and sodium carbonate the mixture flips and is now copper carbonate and sodium sulfate. Because of this happening the copper carbonate now is insoluble and wont dissolve making it a solid that wont dissolve. Since we now have a solid in a mixture some part of it wont go through the filter making it clear in the beacon after the blue is filtered out.
BYE!
