Why are filters used?
To separate mixture
1 of 15
How do they separate mixtures?
By letting smaller pieces or liquids pass through but trap insoluble substances
2 of 15
State what is meant by insoluble?
A substance that cannot be dissolved in a certain liquid
3 of 15
What is meant by filtration?
Using a filter to separate insoluble substances from a liquid
4 of 15
What is a solution?
A mixture of solutes in the liquid called the solvent
5 of 15
State what is meant by crystallisation?
Separating a solute from a solution by evaporating the solvent
6 of 15
What forms in crystallisation?
Crystals form slowly
7 of 15
What is meant by saturated Solution?
Contains the maximum solute that can be dissolved in that amount of solvent at that temperature

How do you filter a solution in a laboratory?
A filter funnel is lined with a filter paper that has fine lines in it.Bits of insoluble substance cannot fit through the hole so leaves a residue in the filter paper.

Why is a Bunsen burner used?
A bunsen burner is used to evaporate the filtrate.

Why must care be taken to not overheat the solution?
Because once the solution is saturated hot crystals may spit out heating can also make the crystals change chemically

What is a hazard?
Something that could cause harm
12 of 15
What is meant by risk assessment?
Identifying the risk in doing the experiment and ways of reducing harms from those hazards
13 of 15
What could you do to stop the risk of spitting?
Wearing a eye protection

What about the Bunsen burner?
It could be removed before the solution is dry and then steam could be used to evaporate the basin gently.
