Introduction
The objective of this lab will be to proficiently separate a mixture, using filtration and evaporation. In this lab, a homogeneous mixture will be created, along with a heterogeneous mixture.The two mixtures will be mixed together, yet separated. Common substances will be mixed and then separated using two of the techniques already listed; filtration and evaporation.
Theory
If the salt, sand, and water mixture is separated successfully through filtration and evaporation, then the percent recovery of the salt and sand will be 100%.
Salt, sand, and water are each substances that are made up of 2 or more elements chemically combined, or compounds. When mixing compounds, it can be either a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous

This will let the filtrate through but leave the sand behind. The filtrate is the liquid that passes through the funnel during filtration. In this experiment, the saltwater solution is the filtrate. The solution remaining in the beaker will then be heated over a Bunsen burner. As the solution is being heated, the water in the saltwater solution will evaporate off until only the salt is remaining in the beaker. Evaporation is a process where a soluble solid is separated from a liquid. The lab ends with the sand on the filter paper, and the salt remaining in the beaker.
In order to successfully reach the objective of the lab, the amount of each substance that is being separated must stay consistent from start to finish. The amount of each substance before it is added to the mixture and after it has been separated needs to be recorded so that comparison and analysis will be correct. All of the data will be used to calculate the percent recovery of the sand and the salt. To find percent recovery, the following equation used will be:
% Recovery = Amount of the substance recovered Original amount of the substance x 100
The answer will then show if separating the mixture was successful, and in turn completing the lab and objective.

Because salt dissolves in water, we added water to the salt and sand mixture. Sand is insoluble in water making the sand not dissolve. The mixture containing of sand and salt water was then filtered with filter paper. The filter paper allowed the salt water to pass through because it is a liquid while not allowing sand to pass through because it is a solid. The salt water was then collected in a pre-weighed 250-mL (67.88 gram) beaker while the sand and filter paper was put in a pre-weighed (52.02 gram) 100-mL beaker. The water was then evaporated because we left both beakers to dry overnight.
The objective of this extraction experiment was to achieve a comprehensive understanding, as well as master the practice, of the technique of separating various individual components of a compound.
The purpose of this lab was to determine the limiting reactant in a mixture of to soluble salts and the percent composition of each substance in a salt mixture.
The purpose of this experiment is to familiarize oneself with the general procedures determining a partition coefficient at the microscale level and learn in weighing milligram quantities of materials on an electronic balance, the use of automatic pipets, the use of transfer pipet, and the use of a vortex mixer. Also, to familiarize oneself with extraction
Experiment 55 consists of devising a separation and purification scheme for a three component mixture. The overall objective is to isolate in pure form two of the three compounds. This was done using extraction, solubility, crystallization and vacuum filtration. The experiment was carried out two times, both of which were successful.
The original 1.0 gram of the 50/50 mixture of the benzoic acid and benzil contain 0.5 gram of benzil. Thus, from 0.5 gram of benzil, only 0.266 gram of benzil was collected. The percent recovery of benzil was calculated to be 53.2%. This low percent recovery could be due to filtration errors. Some amount of benzil remained on the filtration paper that contained the MgSO4. In order for determining the purity of the
Me and my lab partner, obtained a mixture of a un known proportion from the instructor and then flow the guide line in our lab manual to separate the mixture by applying the separation method motioned in our lab manual pages 33-40 . In this experiment, the separation methods were decantation,
The technique I will use to isolate the individual mixes in the blend is paper chromatography.
The objective of the Investigating Mixtures Lab was to observe that not all liquids behave the same way when mixed with other liquids. The hypothesis was if not all liquids behave the same way when mixed with other liquids and I mix colored water and vegetable oil then the vegetable oil will rise to the top and separate.
The complex mixture of iron fillings, sawdust, sand, oil, water, sugar, salt, red food coloring, and vinegar can be separated using many different separation tactics. First, the iron fillings can be separated using magnetic separation. Second, you would filter out the sand and sawdust. You can mechanically separate the sand and sawdust from each other because they are different enough physically to be able to tell them apart. Next, you would evaporate the liquids, being the water, oil, vinegar, and red food coloring, to leave the salt and sugar behind. You can then mechanically separate sugar and salt because they do not stay together after the other substances evaporate. With the remaining substances you can distill the mixture to separate
To separate the sand the students will put the mixture in a beaker and add 50ml of distilled water. Place the beaker on the burner and ignite the burner underneath and let the water come to a boil. This will separate the benzoic acid and the sodium chloride. Pour the liquid while it is hot into a small paper cup. Pour another 10ml of distilled water into the same beaker and repeat the boiling process. Pour the boiling back into the original second cup once more. The student will retrieve a larger coffee cup to place the small paper cup full of the benzoic acid and salt so they can have an ice bath. Let the paper cup of benzoic and salt cool and save it

For the experimental part of this lab, my lab partners and I used six 100 miller liters of beakers and label each baker with concertation percentage of 100%, 50 %, 25 %. 12.5%, 6.25%, and 0%. For the next step of the experiment we used a graduated cylinder
When we were mixing the filtration and letting it vent periodically, we lost some of it. So our percent recovery is as follows:
Evaporating is the procedure of a substance in a fluid state changing to a vaporous state because of an increase in temperature or potentially pressure. Evaporation is particularly successful while isolating solvent blends. (Contrasted with filtration, where in spite of the fact that it can at present separate dissolvable blends, its essential and most advantageous utilize is to isolate insoluble blends.) Not at all like filtration, had evaporation fully disposed of the solvent, abandoning no filtrate. Take, for example, a salty water blend. Whenever evaporated, heat is connected, influencing the dissolvable to evaporate, and the solute crystalized. For our assessment the technique of evaporation is done by evaporating the diverse fluids. Juices
