Science- Filtration

 Hey everyone welcome back today in science we are learning about filtering, we will be learning about some of the key words then we will be doing a experiment. I hope you enjoy My Blog have a wonderful day Good-Bye 

Key words:
Filtering- Separating things based on their size. It only works if we have different sized particles. in other words only insoluble particles can be used while filtering. 

Experiment:

In today's Experiment we will be making a mixture then separating it 

Chemicals we used:
A chemical named Copper Sulfate Which is light blue, it a liquid and its transparent
We also used a Chemical called sodium carbonate which is Colourless its a liquid and its translucent

What we used:
Conical flask
Funnel
Beaker 
Filter Paper
String rod 

Hypothesis:
I think it might separate because they are both two different chemicals so they might have different things in it. I think we will have a mixture of colours when we combine them and when we separate them they will go a lighter shade of the colour it turns when we mix it 

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

Observation and discussion:

When we were mixing the chemicals they became a dark blue and we couldn't see through it and then when we were filtering it we went clear and see through. At the end the two chemicals swapped so the copper sulfate became copper carbonate which is what stayed at the top and didn't go through the filter and the sodium carbonate became sodium sulfate.
