    the osmosis reaction in a potato with salt and water. In cooking cooks will soak their cut potato’s in water if they will not use them immediately. This allows the potato’s to be used later without turning color. The experiment shows the flow of water through the membranes of the potato with salt over a period of four hours. II. Objective: The reaction of the potato to the side submerged in water and the half excavated with salt. III. Raw Materials: Potato‚ Salt‚ Water‚ clear container‚ knife

    Potato Batteries: Veggie power! Data and Analysis Background The battery was invented around 1800 by Alessandro Volta in Italy. It has become an indispensable part of modern life. Why are batteries so useful? Because they convert chemical energy into electrical energy. You can use this electrical energy to light a flashlight‚ to start a car‚ or to listen to your favorite music. We made a simple battery out of a potato by placing in it a zinc strip and a copper strip. At the zinc strip‚ the

    osmosis on the mass of potato using a starch solution. Introduction In order to measure the effect of osmosis‚ eighteen pieces of potato were cut and placed in six groups‚ each group of three pieces cut to weigh as close as possible to one another. For each potato group‚ a test tube was half filled with a starch solution varying in concentration from 0% (water) to 1%. Hypothesis Through osmosis‚ I hypothesise that as the solution of the starch in each tube increases‚ the water content being reduced

    Analysis The trend that my graph and results show is that when the potato was placed in a solution that had a higher concentration than the chip itself‚ the potato lost weight (0.4‚ 0.6‚ 0.8 and 1.0 molars). In the same way when the potato chip was placed in a solution that had a lower concentration than itself‚ the potato chip gained weight (0.0 and 0.2 molars). For my results I calculated the percentage gain/loss in weight using the following formulae: Average change in weight/weight at

    Estimating Osmolarity by Change in Weight Abstract Optimum water content for normal physiological processes in plants is crucial. In order for normal activities to take place‚ the amount of water relative to osmotically active substance (OAS) in cells must be maintained within a reasonable range. The one way to estimate optimum water content is to find osmolarity of plants cells. Osmolarity can be indirectly measure by comparing change in weight and volume when plant cells are incubated in

    Summary The poem begins with our speaker at his desk‚ his pen poised to begin writing. He gets distracted by the sound of his father outside‚ working in the garden‚ and this sends our speaker into a spiral of memories about his father working in the potato fields when the speaker was a young boy. The memory stretches even further back to his grandfather and the hard work he did as a peat harvester (there’s all kinds of hard work going on). Eventually‚ our speaker snaps out of his daydream‚ and we find

    Experiment #2 “Density Determinations” Report The objective for experiment #2 was “to determine densities of objects/salt solutions with different concentrations of salt‚ to see how density changes as a function of concentration.” In experiment #2‚ part II‚ calculations of Density of NaCL solutions were made from 0%-25% NaCL concentration. My hypothesis was that as the % increased‚ so would the density‚ because adding weight would increase the density of each solution. The density calculations
