Filtering

 Hello everyone we are learning about filtering. What is filtering It is separating things that are a different size. 

Aim To Separate a solution from a precipitate (precipitate is the name for a solid that forms in a liquid during a chemical reaction)

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.

I saw the blue and copa stuff funell in the filter paper and it turned clear as class. I have but some pictures down below. Beacause it was being filtered.
