Science: Filtering

 Hello readers for the last couple of weeks we have been doing science today we started to do an experiment filtering is separating things based on there size some things can't be separated if they are the same size if two things are liquid then you cannot separate them if they are dissolved then it will not work. The thing we will be using is copper sulfate, and sodium carbonate. we will be making a mixture and then we are going to be separating it. The things in copper sulfate are Liquid that is light blue and transparent. The equipment you will need is conical flask, stirring rod, 200mL beaker, Funnel, filter paper. I think that it will start to separate from the other part. I think when we add them together it will combine and one will be colour less and one will be blue. These are the steps.

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. It started to turn clear when we added both in
