LAB: Make a Saturated Solution of Copper Sulfate
(in other words, How much copper sulfate powder can dissolve in 10 mL of water?)
Research Question: How many grams of copper sulfate will dissolve in 10mL of water? We will answer this by adding a known mass of powder to the water until no more can dissolve.
Equipment and Materials:
 Test tube
 wax film
 test tube rack
 Spatula
 Measuring cylinder
 Electronic balance
 Copper sulfate powder

1 L beaker – kept at the teacher desk
Method:
1.
Use the measuring cylinder to measure out 10mL of water.
2.
Put this water into the test tube.
3.
Put the square of paper on the balance and ‘zero’ the balance.
4.
Put 3 spatula amounts of copper sulfate onto the piece of paper.
5.
Record the mass of the paper with the chemical.
6.
Carry the paper carefully to your work station.
7.
Add 2 spatula amounts of copper sulfate to the test tube from the paper.
8.
Put the wax film on the test tube and shake the test tube.
9.
Add more copper sulfate and shake.
10.
Repeat step 9 using smaller amounts until copper sulfate remains undissolved, even after you shake the test tube a lot.
11.
Measure the mass of the square of paper with the left over copper sulfate that was not put into the test tube.
12.
Record this mass.
13.
Pour the blue crystals of copper sulfate back into the original beaker.
14.
Measure the mass of the empty paper.
15.
Record this mass.
16.
Pour the saturated copper sulfate solution into the beaker at the teacher’s desk.
17.
Clean up your area.
Diagram of the method:
1.
On a piece of blank paper, use your pencil and ruler to draw a labeled diagram of the method.
2.
Scan your picture.

Hint: FOLLOW SECTION G on the sheet called ‘ How to Write a Lab Report ’ .
Observations:
1.
I have helped you with the quantitative observations so fill in my chart below.
2.
You need to add qualitative data.
Hint: FOLLOW SECTION H on the sheet called ‘How to Write a Lab Report’.
How many copper sulfate in water dissolve
Quantitative data for copper sulfate dissolving in water.
Qualitative data for Copper sulfate dissolving in water
Before
During
Copper sulfate is Blue .on the paper
Water color caged the Blue. We Don ’ t shake than,

SCIENCE 6 @ SWA NAME:
After copper sulfate don ’ t dissolve.
When the Copper Sulfate is not almost remain, the copper sulfate that added in the water was not
3–4 dissolved.
Conclusion:
1.
J1-The Research Question was: 2.8 gram of copper sulfate dissolve in
10ml
2.
J4- From Ms. Jane sheet I know 10mL water can dissolve 2.72gram.
Evaluation:
Follow K4. Even though you followed the method perfectly, errors happened because the method was not perfect so you must make a table to list all the things that make this method not perfect and how you would improve it.
The weakness of the method
We lost some water, when we shake the water.
How to improve it
We should be stopped holes.
We used the tap water.
Criterion D: scientific inquiry
We just use distilled water.
