Evaporation

 aim: to separate the copper sulfate from the water

hypothesis:  the water will evaporate from the copper sulfate in time to eventually get plain solid copper sulfate.

Equipment: Copper sulfate solution, 250mL Beaker, heatproof mat, evaporating basin, element. 

Method: 

1. Set up element

2. Add 100mL of hot water to the beaker and place it 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- be careful not to touch, as it will be hot for a long time.

conclusion:  The mixture of a solvent and solute solution we bought the Heat up to a Boil to evaporate the water to let copper sulfate crystals to form so I was right
