Evaporation Experiment

Lately, We have been learning about solute, solvent and solutions. 

Evaporation is when water changes from liquid to gas.

Aim: To evaporate copper sulfate  

Hypothesis: I think that it will bubble then turn into gas 

Equipment: Element, Gause mat, beaker, evaporating dish, copper sulfate   

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- careful not to touch as will be hot for a long time.

Outcome:

first, it started to fog up the glass then it started bubbling softly then started to bubble a lot and crystals were forming around the evaporating dish next it started to steam.
