Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test the effects of osmosis on eggs in hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions. Hypothesis: If the corn syrup is a hypertonic solution‚ then the egg’s size will shrink. If the water is a hypotonic solution‚ then the egg will swell. Materials: Styrofoam cups (2 per group) Styrofoam cups to weigh down egg (2) Balance Paper towels Vinegar (enough to cover egg) Distilled water Corn syrup Fresh eggs (2 per group) Procedure: Day

are preferred to one large dilution in lab experiments? Answer: Serial dilution is the technique of performing repeated dilutions on the same chemical in order to change its concentration. The diluted solution from a serial dilution can be used to calculate the concentration of the actual solution. In experimental work‚ often we need to obtain a range of concentrations for a specific compound. Thus‚ instead of preparing one large dilution‚ if we take a concentrated sample of a particular compound

ratio inside and outside of the potato was supported by the data. The data shows that the potato submerged in the lowest concentration of the sucrose water solution had the greatest percent change in mass at 15.2% for 0% concentration. Overall‚ the higher the concentration of the solution‚ the lower the percent change in mass. When the solution concentration is 2.5%‚ the percent change in mass is 6.2%. At 5% concentration‚ the percent change in mass is 2.6%. When the concentration is 7.5%‚ the change

SOLVENT EXTRACTION Solvent extraction‚ also known as liquid extraction and partitioning‚ is a method to separate compounds based on their relative solubility in two different immiscible liquid‚ usually water and organic solvent. It is an extraction from one liquid phase to another liquid phrase. Liquid extraction is a basic technique in chemical laboratories‚ where it is performed using a separator funnel. This type of process is commonly performed after a chemical reaction as part of the work-up

measure of free energy of water in a solution. The purpose of this lab was to find the water potential of a potato cell. The problem of this lab was‚ if there was a high molarity of solute‚ would it have a positive or negative water potential? The hypothesis of the experiment was‚ if there is a high molarity of solute then the water potential would be lower or negative. After obtaining potatoes‚ we cut them into pieces‚ weighed them‚ and then placed them in a solution overnight. In this lab‚ we explored

advisable to place a small piece of wire between the funnel and the mouth of the flask during hot filtration? Fluted filter paper is effective in preventing crystal formation in the filter paper. It is also often used in filtering hot saturated solution used during crystallization. One major advantage of a fluted filter is that it increases the speed of filtration. The crisscrossing of the folds help alleviate the pressure to make the flow of filtration faster. The surface are of the filter paper

Brownian motion This is‚ presumably the random drifting of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) .This movement was discovered and later named after botanist Robert Brown (1773-1858). He was a Scottish botanist and palaeobotanist who made important contributions (including Brownian motion) to botany largely through his pioneering use of the microscope. The scientist who made Brownian motion famous is Albert Einstein‚ who brought the phenomenon to the attention of the larger physics community

sucrose solution and distilled water have on the plasmolisys of epidermal cells of a red onion. Hypothesis: Taking in consideration osmosis‚ and my knowledge about it‚ my prediction is that as the molarity of the solution under which the cells are exposed will increase‚ also the amount of plasmolysed cells‚ counted from amount of undamaged cells taken into account‚ will also increase. Hence‚ theoretically‚ the amount of plasmolysed cells in distilled water should be 0‚ while at 1mol solution‚ all

I predict that as the temperature is raised the number of molecules that are able to leave the cell and come into the solution will increase‚ however I think that there will be appoint at which the amount of molecules coming out will remain constant. Red beet tissue contains large amounts of betacyanin‚ a red pigment‚ located in the large internal membrane vacuoles. When the membrane is damaged‚ the pigment can cross the vacuole membrane and cell membrane. Since pigment is water soluble and not
