Talofa everyone, Last week in Science we made Borax Crystals. In groups of 2 or 4, we had to work together to try and make Crystals, But the crystals didn't just appear we had to wait for about 1 week. Have you ever made Crystals before. I think that this experiment was very fun but it also includes a lot of patience. We are back today to see our crystals and the results are really cool. Here are the Equipment, method, and our Aim.
Aim To use Crystallization to separate Borax and water.
Equipment:
- Beaker
- Heat mat
- Tripod
- Spatula
- Gauze mat
- Bunsen burner
- Borax
- Pipe Cleaner
Method:
first, prepare all your Equipment. First pore 150 miles of water into the Beaker. Then seat up your Busen burner and put a Gauze mat and tripod over the bunsen burner. Make sure you have a teacher or parental guidance to help you light up your Bunsen burner and turn on your gas. When the water has boiled turn off your gas. then add a lot of Borax, waiting for it to dissolve until adding more. When the solution has saturated, leave it to cool down with a pipe cleaner suspended on the beaker.
Results:
Conclusion:
First, we dissolved the borax in the water, so that makes the solute the borax, and the solvent is the water. We made a concentrated solution. using crystalization we separated the Borax from the water.
Discussion: Crystallization is used in salt and sugar. The only chemical with the right shapes can make crystals, and crystals are used in a lot of science experiences too.
