Nupoor Matieda October 10‚ 2014 PD 9/10 Lab Report Separation of a Mixture of Sand and Salt Goal(s): To separate a mixture of sand and salt and to find the percent of each component by mass of each mixture Background Theory: A mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances in which each pure substance retains its individual chemical properties. Mixtures can be separated by physical processes such as filtration and evaporation. Filtration is a process where solids

Brooke Thomas September 13‚ 2012 Separating Salt and Sand Lab Report Separating components of a mixture of salt and sand and calculate the mass of each. Salt is soluble and sand will sink to the bottom‚ you can separate the rest with filtering and distillation (boiling). If salt and sand are a mixture‚ then we can separate them by physical processes.

to do – Separating Sand & Salt Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to separate a mixture of sand and salt. Materials: Small beaker Electric balance Sand Salt Water Graduated cylinder Stirring rod Filter paper Flask Rubber policeman Wash bottle Funnel Bunsen burner complete with rubber tubing and a source of gas Hot hands Insulator pad Ring stand complete with a ring Wire gauze Striker Pre-lab Questions: 1. Water will be useful in separating the salt and sand because salt is soluble in water

Seperatation Technqiues of Sand/Salt/Water Mixture Most of the material that are encountered in everyday life are not pure substances. Materials ranging from cement‚ food and ink are formed from physical combinations of various substances called mixtures. A mixture is a type of material that consists of two or more different substances that are not chemically combined. All mixtures can be separated back into its original state except for those that undergo irreversible change. A mixture can take

In this Laboratory experiment‚ my lab partner Alexander and I were able to understand thoroughly the physical and chemical properties of salt (NaCl) and sand (SiO2). Followed by the right procedure we were able to design and test out the components of both NaCl and SiO2 in order to separate the unknown mixture that we were able to find out about. We were also given the task to provide the percent composition of the mixtures. Therefore‚ the separation of components among this experiment allowed us

Sam Chu (Jacob Gorman and Tyler Kui) Lab #1: Separation of a Mixture Mr. Mejia 10/3/14 Separation of a Mixture Lab Report Abstract The purpose of the experiment was to separate an initial heterogeneous mixture composed of 5.00 grams of salt‚ 2.00 grams of sand‚ 50.0 mL of water‚ 15.00 grams of pebbles‚ and 1.00 gram of iron filings‚ and leave as much salt as possible remaining. Using separation techniques including magnetizing‚ evaporation‚ filtration‚ etc. the heterogeneous mixture was thoroughly

The Separation of Mixtures This lab demonstrates the difficult task of separating mixtures using different types of methods. This study is performed because it helps you understand the concept of separation and certain characteristics of elements. Previous knowledge in which already exists in this lab would be the process of filtration‚ distillation‚ magnetism‚ and evaporation. The specific hypotheses of this experiment was that the iron would separate through magnetism‚ the salt would separate

Separation Challenge Problem: Salt‚ sand‚ wood chips‚ iron filings Materials Needed: a magnet‚ water‚ a pot‚ clean flat surfaces‚ a burner‚ filter paper‚ a stirrer‚ and four beakers for each item in the mixture Plan Brainstorm: Separate the items one by one using their different properties. Final Plan: To separate sand‚ salt‚ wood chips and iron filings First‚ use a magnet to remove the iron. Since some sand/salt will get caught with the iron filings‚ you may have to spread out the separated

PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY LAB I Experiment 2 Separation Of Mixtures INTRODUCTION A mixture can simply be defined as a substance that is made up or consists of two or more elements and/or compounds that are physically combined but that have not reacted chemically to form new substances. A mixture may be a solid‚ liquid‚ gas‚ or some combination of those states. Mixtures can be found almost every wher in our everyday lifes and some common examples are * sand and water * salt and water *

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to calculate the mass of composition of each component in a mixture containing sand‚ salt and iron filings. Introduction: Many substances that we use on a daily basis are in fact part of a mixture. A scientist separated a mixture to obtain the specific substance that was in need. Many of the compounds and mixtures today are not found in its pure form‚ but in mixtures. Many scientists have the impression that separating mixtures is an important part of
