Reviews /feedback  my review; the cupcake was light and fluffy good texture but the icing was to runny  
1.stakeholder review very fluffy good flavor balance between the icing and the cupcake base

separating a mixture using Distillation

Hello and welcome to my blog today's blog is about separating a mixture using  Distillation.

Aim: To  separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using Distillation. note: in this experiment  we used coke instead  of saltwater. 

Equipment: A solution of saltwater,conical flask,heat proof mat,a delivery tube and bung,Bunsen burner,tripod,gauze mat,resort stand, boss head clam and a boiling tube.

method 

1. set up the Equipment as shown in picture .

2.Add approximately 50ml of saltwater to your conical flask.

3.light your Bunsen burner.open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner underneath the tripod.

4.heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. turn off your Bunsen burner. 

hypothesis:I think that coca-cola with have more sugar than coke zero but coke zero will have some sugar than none and in the boiling/test tube there with be condensation 

Results: my hypothesis is right there was condensation in the boiling/test tube and there was still sugar in the coke zero.

here is some photos of our experiment.

                                                     this is the start of the experiment 

see how the coke isn't gone 

this is after and what you see here is the                                       

sugar in coke                                       

                                           

Discussion: during the experiment the coke started to boiling the boiling was caused by the heat on the element.After that condensation started to go up the delivery tube into the boiling/test tube and making a clear liquid.In the conical flask the sugar melted at the bottom of the conical flask as you can see in the lower picture.

Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.      

  

evaporting experiment

Hello and welcome to my blog today's blog is about what we been learning about Evaporation.
Evaporation is  the process of a liquid truing into a vapour.
Aim:To Evaporate copper sulfate.(blue liquid) to from a solute.
hypothesis:I think that it wont from a solute it will just boil.
Equipment: Gauze mat,
Method:
1.set up element
2.add 100ml of hot water to beaker and place on the element.
3.Add copper sulfate to evaporating  dish till quarter full. 
4.carefully,place the evaporating dish on thee top of the beaker.
5.turn on element to 3 .
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.
observation:the first few mins the water started to boil then when we turn it off most of the liquid was gone.

Dilution Experiment

hello and welcome to my blog today's blog is about an experiment we did in class on Monday the experiment was  to see the dilution to investigate concentration.
Equipment:A potassium permanganate crystal,six large test tubes,tweezers,a plastic transfer pipette,a test tube rack,10ml measuring cylinder.
Method;
1.put all your test tubes in your test tube rack fill one with 10ml and all the rest with 5ml of water.
2.with your tweezers add one crystal of potassium in the test tube that has 10ml wait for the crystal to dissolve.
3.then get 5ml of the mixture from the 10ml tube and put it in the tube next to then get 5ml of that one and put it in the next one and so on.
here is a photo our one is not the best example
