I. Introduction
II. Material
Beakers, evaporating dish, stirring rod, funnel, funnel holder, filter paper,
watch glass, tong, and balance.
III. Procedure
2. Measure the mass of the sample bottle using a top loading balance,
mb+s.
3. Transfer it into a 400 mL beaker, then measure the sample bottle again,
mb. The difference in these two measurements gives the mass of mixture in
the 400 mL, ms, = mb+s + mb
4. Add 100 mL distilled water, then stir the mixture for 5 minutes to dissolve.
5. Weight the filter paper. (mfilter)
6. Fold the weighed filter paper, then place it in the funnel and wet it with
water using wash bottle to attached to the funnel.
7. Pour your mixture from 100 mL into the funnel for separation of liquid from
solid. Keep liquid level in the funnel about 1 cm below the edge of the filter
paper.
8. Wash solids in the beaker with water to transfer the solid to the funnel.
9. Wash the solid in the filter paper by gently squirting some distilled water
over it from a wash bottle many times.
10. Remove the filter paper front the funnel, fold it, then place it on a watch
glass.
11. Take the watch glass, containing filtered solid, in the preheated oven for
at least 30 minutes or until dry.
12. Cool the filter paper out of the oven. Wait until it cools down,
13. Weigh paper with solid and record it. ( ms = mfilter +samble - mfilter)

First Run:
Mass of the dried filter paper and solid ( mfilter +samble)= 2.556 g
Mass of the solid ( ms = mfilter +samble - mfilter) = 3.156 – 2.556 = 0.6 g

V. Conclusions:
• In our laboratory, we separate salt (NaCl) from sand by dissolving the salt
in water because salt is soluble in water. We can separate salt from sand
because salt is dissolved in water.
EQUIPMENT
Beakers, evaporating dish, stirring rod, funnel, funnel holder, filter paper,
watch glass, tong, and balance.
PROCEDURE
1. Take an unknown sample bottle from the cart and record the sample
number in your lab report.
2. Measure the mass of the sample bottle using a top loading balance,
mb+s.
3. Transfer the sample into a 400 mL beaker, then measure the sample bottle
again, mb,. The difference in these two measurements gives the mass of
mixture in the 400 mL, ms, = mb+s + mb
4. Add about 150 mL of distilled or tap water, then stir the mixture for 5
minutes to make sure that all soluble components dissolve.
6. Fold the weighed filter paper (your instructor will show you how), then
place it in the funnel and wet it with water (using the wash bottle) to make
sure the filter paper is firmly attached to the funnel.
7. Pour your mixture from 400 mL into the funnel for separation of liquid froth
solid. Keep liquid level in the funnel about 1 cm below the edge of the filter
paper.
8. Wash solids in the beaker with water from the wash bottle to make sure all
solid residues are transferred to the filter paper.
9. Wash the solid in the filter paper by gently squirting some distilled water
over it from a wash bottle. Repeat this washing several times.
10. Remove the filter paper front the funnel, fold it, then place it on a watch
glass.
11. Put the watch glass, containing filtered solid, in the preheated oven for at
least 30 minutes or until dry.
12. Take the watch glass and filter paper out of the oven. Wait until it cools
down, then measure the mass of the filter paper with solid in it.
