Challenge!

How would you separate water from a mixture containing

calcium carbonate, salt, and water?

Use the apparatus laid out for you.

Challenge!

1. Filter to remove calcium carbonate

2. Place the salt and water in a simple distillation flask and
distil
3. Pure water exits and salt will be left behind.
