The Effect of Molecular Weight on the Rate of Diffusion of Potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and Methylene blue ¹ ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was determined using the Agar-water Gel Test. One drop of potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue were used. Each substance has a respective molecular weight of 158 g/mol‚ 294g/mol and 374 g/mol. The diameters (in millimeter) were measured

1 Molecular-Orbital Theory Introduction Orbitals in molecules are not necessarily localized on atoms or between atoms as suggested in the valence bond theory. Molecular orbitals can also be formed the LCAO where more than two atomic orbitals are used. (Technically‚ we can use all of the atomic orbitals in the LCAO.) Linear combinations of orbitals result in the interference of waves. Both constructive and destructive interference may result. Within a diatomic molecule‚ N atomic orbitals

Practical to Investigate Diffusion and Osmosis Collect the following equipment: 1x beaker 1x length visking tubing 1x pipette 1x pair safety glasses Instructions – always wear safety glasses! 1. Fill your beaker ¾ full with water 2. Tie a knot in one end of your visking tubing 3. Using your pipette‚ transfer some concentrated sugar solution to the inside of the visking tubing‚ leaving enough space to tie a knot in the open end 4. Add a few drops of red food colouring to the inside of the visking

arena. I had my first glimpse at molecular biology then. But that brief introduction to molecular biology was enough to compel me to the idea that I want to spend my whole life working and conducting research on it. That passion and zeal brought me to where right now I am. I have successfully completed my masters from the Department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology‚ University of Dhaka. I want to note that very few universities offer courses related to molecular biology here in Bangladesh but

Step 2: My hypothesis was that the bag with 60% sucrose then it would be heavier than the bag with tap water or 30% sucrose. I thought this because I thought that there would be more of a substance change in 60% sucrose. Section 3: Methods First get 3 pieces of the same

What would you expect to happen if you added ddCTP (shown in a) to a DNA synthesis reaction in vitro in large excess over the concentration of deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP)? How will this affect the pattern of bands on the sequencing gel? The ddCTP lacks the OH‚ which is required for elongation

The purpose of this lab was to observe how molarity concentration affects diffusion.The lab was primarily based on osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when the movement of molecules from a high concentration that go to a low concentration to a high concentration to eventually reach an equilibrium. Osmosis is when water will diffuse from high water concentration to low water concentration to reach equilibrium. When the solutions are different the lower concentration solute is hypotonic while the higher

understanding on how osmosis and diffusion works. In its simplicity‚ it explains the process that our bodies (mainly cells) use all the time. It also showed me that even with the temperature changing‚ it doesn’t drastically change the rate of diffusion. Introduction Diffusion is important in all living systems. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration (Purchon 1). Diffusion is the movement of a substance
