Evaporation Experiment

Aim: Were trying to use evaporation to separate the solid from the liquid in a solution of copper sulfate. 

Hypothesis: I think the liquid will disappear and leave crystals.  

Equipment: 

1. 250ml beaker 
2. Evaporating basin
3. Element 
4. Heat proof mat 
5. Copper Sulfate 
6. Water  

Method:

1. Set up element 
2. Add 50ml of water to the beaker 
3. Full a quarter of the evaporating basin with copper sulfate
4. Place the beaker on the element 
5. Keep observing to find results 

Results: 

Our results were saying that the copper sulfate evaporated when the element heated the water boiling hot. Also our copper sulfate completely evaporated and left crystals around the sides of the evaporating basin.

Discussion: 

My results are saying that the copper sulfate evaporates when the water is boiling hot. Next time I'd like to watch it evaporate to see the process of evaporation using copper sulfate. 

Conclusion:

The experiment worked as it told me that copper sulfate can evaporate in boiling hot water. My hypothesis was correct because our the copper sulfate evaporated and left crystals.
