Study Notes
Iron Filings Extraction
- Use a magnet to separate iron filings from a mixture.
- Place magnet inside a plastic bag containing the mixture.
- Move the magnet through the mixture to attract the iron filings.
- Gently shake the bag to remove trapped sand.
- Carefully transfer the magnet with filings to a pre-weighed beaker.
- Repeat the process to collect all iron filings from the mixture.
- Measure the mass of the beaker and iron filings to determine the mass of iron.
NaCl Extraction
- Weigh a beaker and watch glass together.
- Weigh a piece of filter paper.
- Add distilled water to the NaCl/SiO2 mixture and stir.
- Filter the mixture through the weighed filter paper into the beaker.
- Add more water to wash the remaining sand in the dish into the filter paper.
- If any sand remains, the final water addition must pass through the funnel.
- Ensure all sand is removed before proceeding.
SiO2 Drying
- Place the wet filter paper cone with sand on a watch glass.
- Place the watch glass in a drying oven.
- Dry the sand until it's completely dry, approximately 30 minutes.
- Remove the watch glass, and sand from the oven.
- Let them cool.
- Weigh the filter paper and sand to determine the mass of SiO2.
NaCl Drying
- Place the beaker with NaCl solution on a hot plate.
- Place a watch glass on top of the beaker.
- Heat the solution to evaporate the water until it is dry.
- Remove the beaker from the hot plate, allow to cool.
- Weigh the beaker, watch glass, and salt together.
- Subtract the mass of the empty beaker and watch glass to find the mass of NaCl.
- Rinse the solid NaCl.
