ABSTRACT A molecular diffusion experiment was conducted with the goal of determining the diffusion coefficient of acetone into air. For this experiment‚ acetone was placed in a capillary tube and was allowed to diffuse into non-diffusing air that was passed over the test tube at the temperature of 50oC.Thetemperature is kept constant and air stream is passed over the top of the tube to ensure that the partial pressure of the vapor is transferred from the surface of the liquid to be air stream bymolecular

Osmosis in Potato Tubers Andrew Dickson Background When a plant cell is bathed in a solution of the same concentration (isotonic) as its intracellular environment‚ its mass and volume remain the same. This is because water enters and leaves the cells at the same rate. There is no net loss or gain of water by osmosis. Samples of cells can be placed in a range of solutions of different concentration. The cells will gain water by osmosis when placed in solutions which are more dilute (hypotonic)

of new ideas‚ media‚ etc History and Orientation Diffusion research goes one step further than two-step flow theory. The original diffusion research was done as early as 1903 by the French sociologist Gabriel Tarde who plotted the original S-shaped diffusion curve. Tardes’ 1903 S-shaped curve is of current importance because "most innovations have an S-shaped rate of adoption" (Rogers‚ 1995). Core Assumptions and Statements Core: Diffusion research centers on the conditions which increase or

Introduction The reason of this experiment was to identify the properties and effects of osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. (Miller/Levine) Osmosis occurs when there is an area of higher and lower concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of higher concentration. The three types of concentrations are hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic. When in comparison

Effect of Osmosis on Potato Aim: To investigate the effect osmosis has on potato pieces that are placed in different concentrations of sugar solutions in water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more saturated the solution is the lighter the potato will be‚ and the potato in the clear water will weigh more after being left in the solution over a 24 hour period. This is because the cell membranes in the potato act as semi permeable membranes (meaning that they only allow certain molecules through)

Osmosis Lab Report The essential focus of the experiment was to acquire data for the mass change resulting from osmosis in order to determine the carbohydrate solution of the carrot cells. The carrots were a vegetable used within the experiment with a carbohydrate solution around .5 M. The hypothesis is if there are carrots in different carbohydrate solutions then there will be a percent change in mass. The carrots have large vacuoles that hold water‚ this allows the mass to increase when the hypertonic
