Separating a Mixture using Evaporation- sciences

Separating a Mixture using Evaporation:

Aim: why you are doing the experiment

Hypothesis: what you think will happen, and why….

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

Method: 

1. Set up element
2. Add 100mL of hot water to the beaker and place on the element.
3. Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin until it is quarter full.
4. Carefully, place the the evaporating basin on top of the beaker. 
5. Turn on the element to 8
6. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming. 
7. Turn off the element- careful not to touch as will be hot for a long time.

Oberservations: In the experiment I saw the blue luqid going to into the water and you could see the water boiling into bubbles.
