Filtration - chemistry experiment

 Hello people! today we will be doing a little bit of experiment on chemistry at science. At as you can tell by the tittle we will be doing some filtration in this experiment.

I will be telling you guys some keys words that we need.

1) Filtering: Separating different sized particles out of a mixture.

(not all mixtures cannot be filtered. only works with different sized(soluble) can be filtered) (If it has dissolved into the liquid it has to be separated a different way.)

2) Solution: A mixture of 2 or more things.

Experiment: 

-Make a mixture                                                                                     Copper Sulfate

-What we are using                                                                                 -Light Blue

                                                                                                                Liquid,Transparent

                                                                                                              Sodium carbonate

                                                                                                                -Colourless, liquid and 

                                                                                                                 transparent


Hypothesis

Since we will be doing this experiment we also need to have a hypothesis of what will happen if we mix those two chemicals together! And I think what will happen next is that is either change colors  and mix or the chemicals separate from one another.


The Method that we will be using.

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.


After experiment

We and my friend in my group started to put the copper sulfate in the beaker first for 50ml then added the sodium carbonate for also 50ml and that makes it 100ml. When we mixed both of the chemicals together, the colour of the copper sulfate which was colour light transparent, see through blue became solid blue! We put it in the conical flask and started to filter it. While filtering we saw a clear liquid dropping down!

Anyways that's all for my blog today! thanks for reading!
