Filtering

Hello people,

Today in class we are looking at filtering thing out after putting them in with it.filtering is separating thing based on the size. Were going mix the two liquids then try to separate them again. Can all mixtures be filter no they cant if they are the same size partials. 

Make solution  aim is to separate the solution 

What do I think will happen is that it will be able to filter though and will stay the colour blue still.

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.

Equipment:

Sodium carbonate

Copper sulfate

Conical flask

Stirring Rod

200mL Beaker

Funnel

Filter paper

While watching it filter out it lost it colour the blue stayed in the filter paper.the blue became more dark and cloudy. The blue stayed in the filter because it a solid and the filter got hold of it.
