Aim: To separate a solution from a precipitate (precipitate is the name for a solid that forms in a liquid during a chemical reaction).
Hypothesis: I think that nothing will happen and that it will stay the same. ( But it didn't)
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.
Observations:
What happened was that when we put the blue liquid in the funnel with the filter paper filtered through clear. I think it happened because there might be something in both the chemicals that reacts together.
