Filtering

In today's session my class are separating liquids.  Filtering is a gadget that separates something from a liquid.  My hypothesis is that it might separate the liquids together. down below is our method

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.

During our practical we filtered the two liquids together and the out come is the the top of the funnel is filled with the blue sludge and at the bottom of the conical flask.
