Separating Mixtures

Aim:
To separate a solution from a precipitate ( a precipitate is a name for a solid that forms in a liquid during a chemical reaction)

Equipment:

• Lead Nitrate
• Potassium Iodide
• Conical flask
• String rod
• 250mL beaker
• Funnel
• Filter Paper

Method:

1. Pour 10mL of lead into the mini measuring cylinder and then pour it into the beaker.
2. Rinse out the measuring cylinder and then do the same thing with the potassium chemical. and see the magic happen. 
3. Filter paper and fold it in half and then again then unfold it once and place it in the slot of the funnel and place the funnel on top of the conical flask.
4. Pour your chemicals that in your funnel and let it drain out and you will see what it comes out.
5. Now look at the filter paper now (it's cool looking right)

Here are some photo's (with numbers) from the experiment that I got from my Science teacher

Discussion:
When I mixed the chemicals together they made a cloudy yellow colour (a little bit like paint) form but, when I drained it, it turned into a clear chemical.
The stuff that was left behind was residue.
I have no idea why it did that.
