chloride concentrations of solutions affect the length (measured in mm) and mass (measured in grams) of potato cores placed in them overnight (approximately 10 hours)? 2. Hypothesis Alternative hypothesis: As the concentration of sodium chloride in the solution increases‚ the mass of the potato cores will decrease. If the solution they are in has a lower water potential than the potato cores‚ there will be net movement of water out of the potato cores. If the solution has a higher water potential

creating a hypotonic solution. The increase in water inside the cell causes the cell to become engorged and erupt. In a hypertonic environment‚ water will leave the cell‚ as the amount of water in the cell is higher than that outside of the cell. As a cell looses water in a hypertonic environment it becomes smaller in size and withers. Isotonic environments are preferred by most microbes for the most advantageous growth‚ although some live in slightly hypotonic solutions. (Alonzo‚ 2008) Growth

in an aqueous solution. The solution is treated with reagents to test for reaction characteristics of certain ions‚ which may cause color change‚ solid forming and other obvious visible changes. The cations to be studied include some common alkaline earth metals‚ group 13 and Zn2+. These ions are not colored in solution‚ and most of their compounds are white. It is impossible therefore to use colors of solutions or precipitates to indicate which of these cations is present in solution. Instead‚ in

initial weights of the potato cubes ranged from 0.93-1.04 grams from the solutions containing AgNO3 (Table 1). Graph one depicts the correlation of percent change in weight for each sucrose concentration with AgNO3 added. The initial length of the potato cylinders were 2cm as depicted in table two. Graph two depicts the correlation of percent change in length in different sucrose concentrations. The initial weights for the solutions lacking AgNO3 ranged from 1.0-1.7grams (Table 3).

Osmosis investigation Aim: To investigate how sugar concentration affects the mass or size of a potato and find out the sugar solution. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane form a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal. This means that osmosis is like diffusion involving water molecules. Osmosis occurs across a partially permeable membrane‚ with holes

Exploration Research Question What is the effect of different concentrations of sucrose in a solution on the mass and surface area of a beetroot (Beta Vulgaris) piece? Background The membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer which is semi permeable. Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a semi-permeable membrane. It is easy for water molecules to pass through this membrane however solutes that are big in

an area of high concentration of sucrose solution to an area of lower concentration of sucrose solution‚ through a selectively permeable membrane. The water molecules move down a concentration gradient in osmosis. Two diagrams of osmosis are shown in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of highly concentrated sucrose solution to an area of lower concentrated sucrose solution. Figure 2 shows a concentration gradient

and Absorbance Solution colour results from the absorbance of some light wavelengths by solutes dissolved in solution‚ while allowing other wavelengths to pass through (transmittance). The combination of the remaining wavelengths that pass through results in the colour of the solution. A colorimeter can be used to determine the amount of light at a particular wavelength that is absorbed/transmitted by a solution. Depending on the concentration of the solute in the solution‚ more or less absorbance/transmittance

Determining the Concentration of a solution: Beer’s Law Objective In this lab of Determining the concentration of a unknown solution: Beers Law. We determined the concentration of a unknown CuSO4 solution by measuring its absorbance with the colorimeter. With all the calculations we were able to solve the linear regression Equation of absorbance vs. concentration and the alternate method.
