    This document describes an experiment on the process of filtration. The objectives are to understand and explain filtration and how it separates mixtures. Materials listed include a funnel, filter paper, and a solution containing starch, charcoal, and copper sulfate. The procedure involves setting up the filter and funnel with the solution and measuring drop counts over time. Observation shows the charcoal is retained by the filter paper while the copper sulfate passes through. Testing also confirms the starch did not pass through. The discussion indicates filtering is most efficient in the second 10 seconds. The conclusion is that filtration can separate solutes from solutions and purify liquids by removing contaminants.

    Activity 3 Observing the Process of Filtration

    Objectives
     To understand and explain the filtration process and the material being used
     To describe the ability of filtration to separate mixtures

    Materials
     Laboratory Funnel  Laboratory Gown
     Erlenmeyer’s Flask  Gloves
     Filter Paper  Test tube rack
     Beaker  Test tube holder
     Stirring rod  Graduated cylinder
     Lugol’s Iodine  Solution containing mixture of uncooked
     Test tube starch, powdered charcoal and CuSo4

    Procedure
    1. Obtain the following equipment: a funnel; a piece of filter paper; a flask; a solution containing
    uncooked starch, powdered charcoal, and copper sulphate, and a dropper bottle of Lugol’s
    Iodine.
    2. Fold the filter paper in half twice, open it into a cone, and place it in a funnel. Set the funnel on
    the flask.
    3. Shake the starch solution, and fill the funnel with it to just below the top of the filter paper.
    When the steady stream of filtrate changes to countable filtrate drops, count
    the number of drops formed in 10 seconds and record the
    count._____16____ drops
    4. When the funnel is half empty, again count the number of drops formed in
    10 seconds and record the count._____24____ drops
    5. After all the fluid has passed through the filter, check the filtrate and paper
    to see which materials were retained by the paper. (Note: If the filtrate is
    blue, the copper sulfate passed. Check both the paper and filtrate for black
    particles to see if the charcoal passed. Finally, add Lugol’s iodine to a 2-ml
    filtrate sample in a test tube. If the sample turns blue-
    black when iodine is added, starch is present in the
    filtrate.)

    Passed: Filtrate blue in color Copper Sulfate

    Retained: Black particles of charcoal

    Discussion
    The filter paper is a medium separation of solid particles from a mixture, with the most
    filtering occurring in the second 10 seconds of counting. The drops are slower in the first 10
    seconds, but faster in the second. The particles of the solute on the filter paper are black in color,
    so the experimenters can tell that the solute does not pass through the filter
    paper. As the experimenters check the filtrate fluid, there are no charcoal
    particles seen, so the solute can be separated by filtration.

    Conclusion
    Filtration is essential for keeping things like water and chemicals
    pure and free of contaminants, and can be used to separate solutes from
    solutions and filtrate different liquids. Starch is not present in the filtrate since it does not change
    its color to blue-black after adding Lugol’s iodine solution.
