This investigation tested the hypothesis: The rate of osmosis will increase as the temperature increases 2x2x2cm cubes of potato were weighed and then placed into 100mL of 10% NaCl solutions for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the cubes were again weighed to determine the amount of mass that they lost/gained and thus get an indication of the rate of osmosis. The results collected showed that the rate of osmosis was highest in the 70°C solution and lowest in the 20°C solution

’Exchange Rate’ The price of a nation’s currency in terms of another currency. An exchange rate thus has two components‚ the domestic currency and a foreign currency‚ and can be quoted either directly or indirectly.

Chapter 5: Flow Rate and Capacity Analysis 5.1 Objective Chapter 3 introduced the three basic building blocks of process flow namely the (average) flow time‚ (average) flow rate and (average) inventory. It is followed by a sequence of three chapters‚ 4‚ 5 and 6‚ which examine each one of these measures individually. Chapter 5 is concerned with flow rate analysis and issues of capacity. The major managerial concept discussed in the in the chapter is that of the bottleneck. We use the notion
