Biology Investigation: Effect of different concentrations of sucrose solutions on the mass of potatoes Research question Is the mass of potatoes going to be smaller or bigger in different sucrose concentration? Introduction Osmosis is a process that occurs at a cellular level that entails the spontaneous net movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the level of water

Let’s Make Salt Purpose: Could NaCl be made using NaHCO3‚ hydrochloric acid‚ and a boiling chip? Hypothesis: If I combined NaHCO3‚ hydrochloric acid‚ and a boiling chip I think it will form NaCl because when you balance the equation it makes a new chemical reaction. Materials needed: test tube cleaner‚ test tube‚ test tube tongs‚ hot plate‚ a scale‚ graduated cylinder‚ water‚ goggles‚ fire retardant glove‚ beaker‚ test tube holder‚ a scoopula‚ hydrochloric acid‚ sodium bicarbonate‚ soap‚ pipette

Salt and Ice; Minnesotas Battle Abstract Salt is applied in the thousands of tons every year to reduce ice and‚ in turn‚ reduce accidents on Minnesota roads. When the ice and snow melt each spring‚ the majority of this solution is relieved into rivers and lakes through storm drains on Minnesota roads. The salt negatively affects fish and aquatic plants by dehydrating them and altering fertilization. The damaging effects of sodium chloride are long term and not easily repaired. The Minnesota

are carrying out an investigation to find out how different concentrations of glucose affect osmosis in potato cells. Osmosis is the passive process of diffusing water which means within this experiment particles of water will move from a lower concentrated area to an area of higher concentration ; in this case it will be a concentration of glucose. Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration ; for example when a smell of cooking spreads through the house

supernatant liquid and denser slurry having a higher concentration of solids. This is usually accomplished by allowing the particles to settle through the force of gravity‚ mechanically using centrifugal force‚ or electrostatically using an electric current. Continuous sedimentation tanks are usually used in wastewater treatment facilities to separate suspended particles from wastewater. This experiment aims to determine the effect of initial concentration and initial height of the slurry on its settling

Hand-out 3: Market Concentration Specification Market concentration. Definition “’Market concentration’ is the degree to which the output of an industry is dominated by its largest producers.” In other words‚ how many of the sales in the market are accounted for by the biggest firms in that market.

Stephanie Mae M. Richa Date: Oct. 3‚ 2011 Article Title: Can Concentration Improve Memory? By Kenneth Ray Williams I. Summary The basic memory mechanics exposes the power of concentration to improve memory. Concentrating can increase the amount of information encoded in the brain. Concentration enhances the basic memory mechanics by creating a healthy‚ vibrant and energetic brain. Combining basic memory mechanics

Aim: To see if changing the concentration of catalase (found in celery) with hydrogen peroxide affects the amount of oxygen given of. Background Information: (Hydrogen peroxide - H2O2 1/2O2+H2O) Enzymes: Hundreds of chemical reactions happen simultaneously inside living cells and it’s the job of enzymes to control and regulate the various metabolic activities.
