Potato Battery Chapter I: Introduction I. Background of the Study Do you have like 500 unused sacks of potatoes and don’t know what to do with it? Does your low class battery always die out on you at the exact moment you look at the last digit of you clock? If you answered yes‚ then here is the solution to your problem! Potato batteries are designed for you! So why do you spend so much money in buying new batteries for your digital clock if you can use the alternative resource. II. Statement

Investigating the Water Potential of a Potato. I have been asked to investigate the water potential of a potato. During my investigation I will not actually be able to measure a value for‚ as it is a pressure value (kPa). Osmosis is a special form of diffusion involving only water molecules. It is defined as "The passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane" Definition of Water Potential. The potential for water

Experiment #1 Date: September 13‚ 2011 Title: Diffusion in Gases I Aim: To observe the diffusion of bromine Apparatus and Materials: Glass tube‚ bromine‚ fume chamber Diagram: Procedure: -Liquid bromine was placed in a jar and covered Observations: When first placed in the jar the original color of bromine was red-brown. As it began to diffuse its color changed from dark brown to a lighter brown until it becomes a yellow-like orange color. As it was diffusing liquid bromine changes its state

Cultural Diffusion and its Influence on Europe and Sub Saharan Africa Both Europe and Sub Saharan Africa was and still is a melting pot consisted of a blend of races and cultures that has integrated into a cohesive whole. Take The Melting Pot restaurant as an example; The rich blend of the chocolate sauces can resemble a specific culture such as strawberry‚ white‚ dark‚ raspberry‚ etcetera‚ but when they are mixed together‚ the melting pot creates a swirl that symbolizes the blending of one culture

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

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

Diffusion of innovations From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search The diffusion of innovations according to Rogers. With successive groups of consumers adopting the new technology (shown in blue)‚ its market share (yellow) will eventually reach the saturation level. In mathematics the S curve is known as the logistic function. Diffusion of Innovations is a theory that seeks to explain how‚ why‚ and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures.

A potato battery is a type of electrochemical cell. An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In the potato battery‚ there is a transfer of electrons between the zinc coating the galvanized nail that will be inserted into the potato and the copper wire that will be inserted another part of the potato. The potato conducts electricity‚ yet keeps the zinc ions and copper ions separate‚ so that the electrons in the copper wire are forced to move (generate current). It’s

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. With diffusion no energy is required and it is caused by kinetic energy. The rate of diffusion can be affected by many things including temperature‚ molecular weight‚ and movement. To test the rate of diffusion a drop of dark food coloring was added to a glass of tap water and it was timed to see how long it took for the drop to reach the bottom of the glass. This procedure was repeated three

Why is diffusion of innovation and technology important? When I think of diffusion of innovation and technology‚ I think of evolution or how a product‚ idea or theory goes from a thought in someone’s mind to an actual working process and then through time develops into better products to meet society’s needs and wants. Many times certain societies have a special trait‚ characteristic or ability that enables them to be great at certain types of technology or maybe they produce certain products that
