The research question that I asked myself before the experiment was “What is the osmotic potential of potato?” The answer I got after the experiment was that the osmotic potential of potato is very high because this experiment exactly showed what happened when there is Osmosis present and the following information will prove it. Our results greatly showed that there has been osmosis present. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration

are in an area‚ the more collisions there will be. These collisions cause molecules to push away from each other. So‚ over time‚ the molecules of a substance will continue to spread out. Eventually‚ they will be spread evenly throughout the area. Osmosis is the diffusion of water. (when “the substance” that is diffusing is water)

Concentration of a Potato Aim: In this investigation I am going to work out the sugar concentration of a potato. I aim to find this out by putting potato cores into various concentrations‚ measuring the mass before and after. Due to osmosis the potato cores will change in mass to make the concentrations at an isotonic level‚ helping us to work out the mass of the potato. I predict that potato in the weaker solutions will gain mass‚ because some water will be absorbed by the potato to make the concentrations

This assignment must be submitted no later than November 22nd‚ 2011. 1. What is a true solution? Explain why the solute does not settle out of a solution. Is it possible to have one solid dissolved in another? Explain. In metals it would be called an alloy. 2. An aqueous solution of KCl is colorless‚ KMnO4 is purple‚ and K2Cr2O7 is orange. What color would you expect of an aqueous solution of Na2Cr2O7? Explain. Orange. 3. Explain why hexane will dissolve benzene but will not dissolve

modern society our perspectives on issues have altered. Out of the many of the push factors that Ireland was faced with the “Great Potato Famine” was the basis for many people immigrating. Many other reasons that the Irish had begun to immigrate were from political reasons‚ rising poverty levels‚ and spread of disease. The famine during 1847- 1852‚ lead to the potato harvest to fail year after year. This resulted in the increase of food cost‚ forcing the middle class to become poor. This issue had

Osmosis is the selective diffusion of water and other molecules across membranes‚ which in the case of living organisms‚ the solvent (water) would have net movement across a selective permeable membrane. Osmosis only occurs when a membrane such as that of a cell is permeable to water molecules but not to specific solutes (Tortora & Derrickson 2014). Certain simple molecules such as oxygen‚ water and carbon dioxide can travel across the cell membrane by osmosis‚ a passive process similar to other

gain (g) because the solution is hypotonic – a hypotonic solution results in the water diffusing into the cell because the molecules of the substance are moving from an area of higher concentration (outside of the cell) to an area of lower concentration (inside the cell) (Hammel & Schelegel 2005). Therefore‚ the water was moving into the cell‚ causing the potato cell to increase in size. The potato appeared to be quite turgid and swollen through observation. The 3% salt solution resulted in the least
