coke distillation

Aim: Separate water from coke using distillation.



introduction: On Tuesday we did an experiment in science were we had coke in it. We did distillation which means that we separated two mixtures, in this case, we separated water from the coke. The water got removed from the coke by boiling the water.




Method: So first we set up the equipment, then we got to do the experiment which we evaporated the water out of the coke by making steam.

1. What is a crystal. A solid material that comes in all different shapes and sizes and there are a lot of different kinds of them such as diamonds etc:

2. How can you make sugar crystals 1. dissolve the sugar in boiling water. 2. add a few drops of food colouring or flavouring if desired. 3. allow the solution to cool a bit before pouring it into your jar. 4. pour the sugar solution into a jar. 5. place the container somewhere it won't be disturbed.

3. How is this separating a mixture.

it is separating the water and the sugar which are both a mixture. What is happening to the water is the water is soaking into the sugar

Science Experiment

Method:

1. Place the six test tubes in a test tube rack label them one to six.

2. Using the measuring cylinder fill the test tubes with 10 ml (all of them) Using the remaining water fill them all with 5 ml

3. Using your tweezers add a single crystal (The smallest one possible) Into the first liquid

4. Gently sake the test tube until the crystal has dissolved.

5. Using the transfer pipette, carefully remove exactly 5 ml from test tube 1 and pour it into test tube 2

6. Rinse the transfer pipette thoroughly to ensure that no purple solution remains.

7. Gently shake the test tube 2 and repeat the transfer process, transferring 5 ml of solution from test tube 2 to test tube 3.

8. Rinse the pipette again and repeat the transfer process for test tubes 4,5 and 6.

In science, we've been learning about mixtures. So yesterday we put Some purple crystals and then they dissolved into the water and the water became purple. Then got a squeezy thing that sucked up the purple water and then put it into the other test tube with more water in it and so on six times. The purple water got lighter and lighter every time we did it. But ours was different because the second test tube had a chemical in it that made our second one yellow instead of purple but we kept going.

We also learnt what dilution and solution means let me tell you

1. the action of making something weaker

2. the action of making something more concentrated

My Own Crest

In social studies we made our own family crest. 

Mine has a horse, a football, An art symbol and the countries that i'm from. those are in thew four corners. I drew them all myself!

The horses are there because my great great grandparents owned heaps of horses

The art symbol is there because my family is pretty talented in art my dad owns a tattoo shop and my uncle made the logo for anytime fitness.

the football logo is because basically my whole family love football and my great granddad made it into the famous football club called Bolton.

And the names of where i'm from is just what I came up with to show people.
