Recently we have been learning about solute, solvent and solutions.Evaporation is when a liquid changes to a gas / vapor.
Our aim is to evaporate Copper Sulfate which is a solution.
Hypothesis: I think it will bubble then turn into gas.
Equipment: Gause Mat, element, beaker, copper sulfate and evaporating dish.
First off we filled the beaker will 100mls of warm water onto the element and put the evaporating dish filled with copper sulfate on top of the beaker and set the element to 3.The beaker first started to fog up and bubble. The copper sulfate started to get lighter in colour. The bubbles then started rising then popping. Then massive bubbles started appearing because it was boiling and steam then started coming out. A while later crystals started forming.
Conclusion: First off the water started bubbling and the glass got foggy, then the copper sulfate started getting lighter in colour. Finally the copper sulfate started to crystallise.
