Science:

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

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 on 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 forming.
7. Turn of your Bunsen burner.



Results:
Discussion: We evaporated the Solvent which was water. after we boiled the copper sulfate for like 20 minutes then we sat it out for two days after them 2 days we came back and it turned out to a solute. So the solution was blue copper sulfate crystals.
