Title: Colligative Properties & Osmotic Pressure Background: Important terms to study from this lab assignment are colligative properties‚ membrane permeability and osmotic pressure. First‚ colligative properties are “those of a solution that depend solely on the number of solute particles present‚ not the identity of those solute particles. These properties include: vapor pressure lowering‚ boiling point elevation‚ freezing point depression‚ and osmotic pressure” (p. 17 lab manual). In this experiment

Review Sheet Results 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. Your answer: If the extracellular K+ increases then the concentration of intracellular K+ will decrease causing a decrease in the steepness of the concentration gradient and fewer K+ ions would be drawn out. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare

Colligative Properties & Osmotic Pressure (Lab – Chapter 13) Introduction: In this lab‚ we are going to observe the difference in freezing point between pure water and salt water. We will also observe the permeability of an egg shell membrane and dialysis tubing‚ acting in place of a human cell‚ when placed into a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. We will observe the changes in size‚ shape‚ and characteristic. Materials and Methods: First we begin this experiment by making an ice bath in

Activity 1: 1. Did any solutes move through the 20 MWCO membrane? Why or Why not? 2. Did Na+Cl- move through the 50 MWCO membrane? Activity 2: 1. Are the solutes moving with or against their concentration gradient in facilitated diffusion? 2. What happened to the rate of facilitated diffusion when the number of carrier proteins was increased? 3. In the simulation you added Na+Cl- to test its effect on glucose diffusion. Explain why there was no effect. Activity 3: 1. Which membrane resulted

Activities and Learning Exercises Ch 3 Instructions for Task Analysis Assignment Your job is to formulate a training objective and write a task analysis of a skill; for example‚ how to eat a sandwich cookie. Remember this is an example‚ but you should assume that your trainees are familiar with what a sandwich cookie is. Your job is to teach them how to go about eating one or can they really eat just one? First‚ compose a goal statement/learning objective for your training. Next‚ complete your

CHEM 182-DL1 Prof.: Dr. Nidhal Marashi Lab 1: Colligative Properties & Osmotic Pressure Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory was to gain an understanding of the differences between the freezing points of pure solvent to that of a solvent in a solution with a nonvolatile solute‚ and to compare the two. Secondly‚ osmosis was to be observed to gain a proper understanding of how the principal of dialysis functions. Procedure: 1. Make a water bath assembly by doing the following:

Review Sheet Results 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. Your answer: Because outside a typical cell‚ the concentration of K+ is about 5mM and the concentration of Na+ is about 150 mM. When you increase the concentration of K+ from 5 to 25 mM and reduce concentration of Na+ from 150 to 130 mM‚ the outside has more concentration of K+. The membrane is permeable to a particular ion‚ that ion will diffuse down
