separating a mixture using dilution

AIM-  To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using dilution 

METHOD - 1. Set up the equipment

                    

                     2. add approximately 50 ml of water or coke and a few drops of food colouring to your                             conical flask

                     3. Light your Bunsen burner. open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner under                             the tripod

                     4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporate. Turn of your Bunsen                                 burner

DISCUSSION - We prepared our Bunsen burner under a heat proof mat then we put a retort stand next to it with the beaker filled with ice on the base of the stand. we put a tripod on top of the Bunsen burner and a gauze mat on the tripod we got the conical flask with regular coke inside it and but it right on the gauze mat. we put the delivery tube inside the conical flask. We attached the test tube on the boss head and clamp and put the other end of the delivery tube in the test tube


- Boiling/Evaporation
- Condensation
- distillation
- solvent
- solute
- solution


Conical flask - Evaporation

Delivery tube - condensation


OBSERVATION - The solution boils and steam is observed moring up the conical flask.
The coke drops form in the delivery tube and run in to the beaker
