CHROMATOGRAPHY

Separating a mixtures using Chromatography

Aim: To separate the different pigments in inks or dyes using paper chromatography
Method: 
1. Cut a piece of filtered paper long enough to reach the bottom of your test tube.
2. Rule a line in pencil 2 cm from bottom of paper
3. Fill test tube with 1 cm of chromatography solution (water)
4. Place a dot of ink above the ruled line.
5. Fold over test tube and place in solution.
6. Wait and observe
7. Repeat with 2 other colors 

Results: 
Discussion: I used cold colors for this experiment. The water soaked the ink. The water attaches its self from the paper which rises the ink up and it make a ombre color.

Evaporation

Aim: To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using evaporation.
Equipment: Copper sulfate solution, 250 ml beaker, heatproof mat, an evaporating basin, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat.
Method: 
1. Set up the bunsen burner, tripod and gauze mat. Don't place the Bunsen burner under the tripod.
2. Add approximately 50 ml of hot water to your beaker and place it on top of the tripod, on the gauze mat. 
3. Add enough copper sulfate solution to quarter fill the evaporating basin.
4. Carefully place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker.
5. Light your bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner under the tripod.
6. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming.
7. Turn off your bunsen burner.

Results: 
Discussion: We started with the copper sulfate solution and let it sit to boil. The gas evaporated in the water. There was residue around the basin. We left it to evaporate by the window. Once we came back, we were left with blue shiny crystals.

Separating A Mixture Using Distillation

Aim: To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation.

Equipment: Blue food coloring, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube, and bung, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, retort stand, boss head, and clamp, boiling tube

Method: 
1. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.
2. Add approximately 50 ml of water and a few drops of food coloring 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 evaporated. Turn off your bunsen burner.

Results: We are using coke to condense it.

Discussion: The solution gets boiled n heated which creates gas. The gas evaporates into steam and flows through the delivery tube then condensing back into a solvent. Whats left behind is tartar which is a solute

Music - Performance

What did you choose to perform and why? 

I chose the piano because I've been wanting to know how to do it but I didn't know some chords so i only did three.

Facts On Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs live many centuries ago, but now extinct over a meteoroid. The name dinosaur means ¨terrible lizard¨. But not all dinosaurs were lizards, and not all dinosaurs were terrible. Small plant-eating dinosaurs were about as terrible as today's sheep. Many other kinds of creatures lived before them, including many other types of reptiles. Over millions of years, one of these groups of reptiles probably changed very slowly, or evolved, into the first dinosaurs.


Making A Dilution Series

Aim: To make a dilution series to investigate the concentration

Equipment: A potassium permanganate crystal, six large test tubes, tweezers, a plastic transfer pipette, a test tube rack, 10ml measuring cylinder

Method: 
1. Place the six test tubes in a test rack. Label the rack with numbers 1-6
2.  Using the measuring cylinder, fill the test tube 1 with 10 ml of water. Fill the remaining test tubes with 5ml of water
3. Using your tweezers, add a single crystal of potassium permanganate to test tube 1
4. Gently shake the test tube until the crystal has dissolved
5. Using the transfer pipette, carefully remove exactly 5ml from the test tube 1 and pour in into test tube 2
6. Rinse the transfer pipette again and repeat the transfer process for test tube 4, 5 and 6

Results: 
-The color goes lighter 

Solute: The Solid/ Potassium Permanganate
Solvent: The Liquid/ Water 
Solution: The Two Things Added Together 
Soluble: The Substances Cant Dissolve
Concentrated: More Solid Than Liquid

Discussion-
The Solute turned into liquid when we were mixing the solution together.
