The hypothesis for this lab was “If the separation technique, boiling, is used to separate copper chloride from water, then 95% of the copper chloride will be recovered because copper chloride, which is soluble in water, won 't evaporate with the water.” The hypothesis was not supported by this lab. Although the lab confirmed that filtering and evaporating were the correct means of separation to use on carbon, water, and copper chloride, the overall result was not
