Filtration experience

Today in chemistry, we did an experiment on Filtration. Filtration is - Separating different sized particles out of mixture. 


 Aim - Our aim for today's experiment is to make a mixture, and then separate the two chemicals, through filtration. 


Equipment's that were included in the experiment:

  • Glasses for safety
  • 200ml beaker to pour in the copper sulphate
  • Stirring rod to stir the two chemicals together
  • Funnel to transport the liquid into the beaker
  • Conical flusk 
  • Filter paper
  • Copper sulphate


Method:

  1. Pour approximately 50ml of copper sulphate solution into a beaker.
  2. Add some 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 the filter paper inside the funnel.
  4. Place the funnel 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.
