Aim: To take a solvent and a solute out of a solution using evaporation.
Hypothesis: I think it will boil up and create steam.
Equipment: Copper sulfate solution, 250ml beaker, heat proof mat, evaporating basin, element
Method: 1. Set up element 2. Add 100ml of hot water to the beaker and place on the element 3. Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin until it is quarter full 4. Carefully place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker 5. Turn on the element to 3 6. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming 7. Turn off the element- be careful not to touch, as it will be hot for a long time.
Observations: I can see the water evaporating on the glass, and the blue liquid melting through the basin. I can also see steam coming up from the experiment.
Conclusion: My hypothesis ended up being correct for some of the experiment but the there also was crystals made up of copper sulfate.
Evaluation: It ended up being a fun experiment and I enjoyed it.
