Lab Reflection

On the 11th of September 2023, in the chemistry lab, we


decided to experiment on the physical ways of separating
mixtures. I believe it was a fruitful experience. First, we had to
know the type of mixture to move forward. Homogenous
mixtures such as salty water and heterogenous mixtures such
as sand and iron had different ways of separating mixtures. We
accomplished our goal: heating up salty water, which decreases
the solubility of salt; using a magnet to take iron out of sand
and iron; using filter paper to take sand out of water; and
decantation of relatively dense water and less dense oil.
We had a successful experiment. We learnt the ways of
physically separating mixtures practically.
