a semi-permeable membrane is the process of osmosis. If there is a solute and a solvent‚ each containing different concentration levels‚ then the water would move along its concentration gradient until each side of the membrane are equal. The water moves because the membrane is impermeable to the solute and the solute concentrations may differ on either side of the membrane. Water molecules may move in and out of the cell‚ but there is no net diffusion of water. Water will move in one direction or

The purpose of the lab was to investigate osmosis‚ which was successfully achieved because there was a change in the potato’s mass which was due to the net movement of water either into the potato cells or out of the potato cells. In the 0.400M solution‚ the potato decreased in mass‚ this was due to the reason that the solution was hypertonic. There was a higher concentration of solute and lower concentration of water in the solution than there was in the potato cells. This led the water to travel
Premium Concentration Diffusion Solution
Aim To observe and measure the effect of osmosis on the mass of potato using a starch solution. Introduction In order to measure the effect of osmosis‚ eighteen pieces of potato were cut and placed in six groups‚ each group of three pieces cut to weigh as close as possible to one another. For each potato group‚ a test tube was half filled with a starch solution varying in concentration from 0% (water) to 1%. Hypothesis Through osmosis‚ I hypothesise that as the solution of the starch in

Objective: To observe the effects of osmosis on eggs placed in vinegar (5% acetic acid)‚ syrup (60% sugar solution)‚ and water (100% distilled). Hypothesis: Hypothesis #1: It was hypothesised that the egg would gain 59 grams of mass after soaking in vinegar for 24 hours. Hypothesis #2: It was hypothesised that the egg would become larger when soaked in syrup than it once was due to the hypotonic environment. Hypothesis #3: It was hypothesised that the egg would soak in water for 72 hours‚ losing

Premium Osmosis Concentration Red blood cell
Purpose To explore transport of materials in three semi-permeable membranes: dialysis tubing‚ eggs‚ and onion cells. Background Information 1. Diffusion is the movement of solutes from high to low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from low to high concentration. Both refer to movement in/out of a cell‚ but osmosis refers specifically to water. 2. Isotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and hypotonic all refer to the comparison of concentrations of solutes in verses out of the cell. Isotonic is

9/17/2013‚ Lois Andersen & Claire Ma “The Power of Osmosis” The purpose of the lab was to discover‚ through osmosis‚ the concentration of sugar water in a potato. First‚ potatoes were cut into strips about 3 centimetres in length and six strips were individually massed. Next‚ the six strips were placed in 6 different Dixie cups‚ labelled A‚ B‚ Q‚ X‚ Y‚ and Z. Each of the Dixie cups were then filled just enough to cover the potato strips‚ with substances that matched the letters of the cups
