Filtration experiment.

Today in science we are going to be doing are first experiment of the term which is going to be a  filtration experiment.

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 thought that that the filter make will make the mixture clear
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 -
When the mixture on the top started dripping to the bottom the colour was clear.

Equipment:
1. Copper sulfate
2. Conical flask
3. stirring rod
4. 200mL Beaker
5. Funnel
6. Filter paper
