Separating Mixtures: Distillation Flashcards
1
Q
What happens to the copper sulphate solution when it is heated?
A
The particles gain kinetic energy and spread out turning it into gas particles.The copper sulphate solution has evaporated.
2
Q
How is the water and copper sulphate solution separated ?
A
The thermometer reaches 100 degrees Celsius as this is the boiling point of water. This separates the water (in the copper sulphate solution) from the copper sulphate.
3
Q
What is the last stage of distillation?
A
The gas particles are cool down from the condenser which slows them down and brings the particles close together. This condenses them into water.
