My Investigation on osmosis Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion. While diffusion can describe the movement of any kind of molecule‚ osmosis is only about the movement of water molecules. To show this diffusion I will be using potato discs‚ of the same size and mass‚ in different concentrations of sugar solution to find out whether the mass of the discs increases or decreases depending on the concentration. I predict that when the sugar solution is 0% the mass will increase as there is

Background: This lab involves the testing and measuring of water potential. Water potential (ψ) is the tendency of water to diffuse from one region to another. It measures the free energy available in water to do work. Pure water has a water potential of 0 (kpa--unit?). Water will move from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Several factors‚ including temperature‚ pressure (ψp) and solute concentration (ψs) contribute to water potential. (citation-lab) The equation

attract a mate. The goal in this experiment was to test the effect of adenosine triphosphate in lighting the firefly’s lantern in temperature effects‚ pH effects‚ and salt effect. Materials and Methods Powdered firefly lanterns were obtained from Carolina Biological. The lights in the room were turned off. The dropper from the bottle of ATP powder was removed. A pipette was used to add 1 mL of buffer solution to the bottle ATP and the dropper was placed back onto the bottle. The bottle was rolled

Engineering B45 Concrete Lab Report Introduction: Concrete is a mixture of sand and rock or similar inert material (aggregates) held together by a cementing material. Usually the cementing material is Portland cement‚ but sometimes binders such as asphalt or gypsum are used‚ in which case the concrete may be called asphaltic concrete or gypsum concrete. Properties of concrete are governed not only by the properties of its ingredients (cement‚ water‚ sand‚ and coarse aggregate) but also‚ to a great

By measuring the reaction rate between bleach and the dye‚ the order of the reaction was determined to be first order. Introduction The study of kinetics is important for studying the amount of time it takes for a particular reaction to reach

9/23/12 Lab Report #1 Meter Reading Summary The objective of this experiment was to learn how to read different meters like the D.C. volt meter and the D.C. amperes meter. In all meters each big line is a major division and each little line in between is a minor division‚ and if there is a line smaller than the minor division lines then that would be a sub minor division. Each meter has a low‚ medium‚ and high range. For example on the D.C. volt meter the ranges go from top to bottom 150‚ 15‚

Investigation into finding out the Effect of the effect of osmosis In potato cells Introduction I am doing an experiment to find out the effect that osmosis has on Water solution and a Sugar solution. Osmosis is a process which water moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. I am going to record my results to see if osmosis occurs in water solution of sugar solution. Apparatus In this experiment I would need; - 1) 3 test tube 2)

In this experiment‚ the scientists will research and test which of the four substances is the most efficient at absorbing water in cucumbers. The independent variable is the different substances being used. The dependent variable in the experiment is the amount of water absorbed. There are many constants including the same brand of cucumber slices‚ the same amount of each substance applied‚ the same measuring tools being used‚ and the same observation time. The control of these scientists’ experiment

Introduction The aims of the lab session was to familiarize with the principles‚ operation and application of a light spectrophotometer. This report discusses an experiment to study the relationship of absorbance and concentration‚ the interaction of electromagnetic radiant energy(ERE) and matter which is an important aspect of the Beer-Lambert ’s Law. This law states that the absorption of a compound is directly proportional to the concentration of that particular compound. This is because (a &
