How Does Molarity Concentration Affect Diffusion

The purpose of this lab was to observe how molarity concentration affects diffusion.The lab was primarily based on osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when the movement of molecules from a high concentration that go to a low concentration to a high concentration to eventually reach an equilibrium. Osmosis is when water will diffuse from high water concentration to low water concentration to reach equilibrium. When the solutions are different the lower concentration solute is hypotonic while the higher concentration solute is hypertonic. The hypertonic solution would have a low water potential with a high solute potential. Hypotonic would be the opposite because water potential and solute potential are inversely proportional. Water potential is
The possible errors for labA could be a leak in the dialysis bag from the floss not being tight enough. For labB a possible error could be the oils from your hands blocking the pores messing up the data.Inaccurate measuring like not completely drying the potatoes or dialysis bag. Calculating or copying down the data incorrectly are all big factors that could’ve messed up the data. This experiment relates to one of the biggest concepts in biology, the activity of a human cell.The rate of diffusion depends on the properties of the cell and the surrounding solution. A substance like water and other molecules are needed for cellular processes to enter and exit the cell by passive diffusion or facilitated diffusion. If it weren't for diffusion cells wouldn't be able to survive.Cells react based on their environment. Hypertonic solution will make a plant cell shrink, losing water in cytoplasm, and the cell would plasmolyze which happened to the onion cell when added NaCl(the environment became hypertonic). In an isotonic solution, the plant cell wouldn’t provide enough turgor pressure to support the cell wall. The hypotonic environment for plant cell is best for
