Filtration Read the method below to help you write an appropriate aim. Aim: __________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Method 1: 1.

Add 50ml water to a 150ml beaker. 2. Add a spatula of copper oxide to the water. 3. Place some filter paper into a filter funnel. 4. Set up the filter funnel (using a retort stand, boos head and clamp) over a clean empty beaker. 5. Pour in the mixture from the first beaker. 6. Repeat the experiment but use copper sulphate instead of copper oxide Draw a scientific diagram of the apparatus in your book at least 8 lines in size. Use a pencil and ruler and the following labels: Residue filtrate filter paper filter funnel conical flask

Describe the copper oxide before it was placed in the beaker. Is copper oxide a pure substance? Is copper oxide soluble? Describe what you saw and where during the filtering process. Can the mixture in the beaker be separated by filtering? Describe the copper sulphate before it was placed in the beaker. Is copper sulphate a pure substance? Is copper sulphate soluble? Describe what you saw and where during the filtering. Can the mixture in the beaker be separated by filtering?

Words: spread cannot insoluble can filter small liquid big dissolves

When a substance is ___________ in water the particles in the solid remain fixed close together. The solid lumps are too ________ to fit through the holes in the filter paper and it is left behind. The liquid particles are _________ enough to fit through. A mixture of an

insoluble solid and a liquid _________ be separated by filtering. The solid on the filter paper is called the RESIDUE. The _________ that goes through the paper is called the FILTRATE.

When a substance ____________ in water, the particles in the solid move away from each other and __________ through the water. When we filter this mixture all of the particles are small enough to fit through the __________ paper. The mixture ___________ be separated.

A student was asked to draw a diagram that would best represent an explanation of the results. What is your interpretation of this students diagram? Explain why or why not it is an appropriate diagram.
