Procedure

1. Mixture of Iron filings, sand and glucose

   • Step 1
     • Place a magnet near the mixture. The magnet will attract the iron filings
       • This will separate the iron filings from the mixture, collecting it.
         • Step 2
           • Add water. Since glucose is soluble, it will dissolve in the water
             • Filter the mixture
               • The residue is sand as it is insoluble
                 • The filtrate is the glucose solution
                   • Step 3
                     • Heat Solution using s bunsen burner
                       • Pour the heated solution into an evaporating dish and leave it to cool
                         • The water will evaporate and the glucose crystals will be left in the beaker
                     • Crystallisation
           • Using a Suitable Solvent: Filtration
     • Magnetic Attraction
