    Structural Engineer For my research I chose to look into Commercial water systems it’s fascinating to see a pressurized system of water for a facility such as a large hospital. I interviewed a friend who was involved in engineering the system to be installed in a hospital and there’s a lot more to it than I first expected‚ I never really thought of how complicated it actually was and how much water that involved. Most companies involved in these commercial jobs are larger companies

    the effect of sugar on the mass of potato Introduction- diffusion is a passive transport where molecules move from areas of higher concentration to areas of low concentrations. Although the molecule ’s movement is random‚ equilibrium is being sought out. Osmosis is a type of diffusion only It involves water. In osmosis water diffuses from the area of high concentration to an area of low concentration‚ to diffuse the more molecule rich side. Because cells have selectively permeable membranes‚ meaning

    Osmosis coursework Aim: To investigate the effect of different concentration of a sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and pear pieces of a given size. Define osmosis: Osmosis is a net movement of water/ solution molecules from a region of high concentrated area to a region of lower concentrated area through a semi-permeable membrane which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allot bigger molecules like glucose to pass through. The molecules

    Osmosis in Plants Outline: To investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip of a given size. Definition - Osmosis: Movement of a solvent (liquid) through a semi-permeable membrane separating solutions of different concentrations. The solvent passes from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution until the two concentrations are equal. All

    demonstrate how water temperature affects the dissolving of sugar in liquid. Everything in our universe is made up of particles which are in constant motion. In a solid state particles move the slowest while in a liquid state particles move the fastest. Under the right conditions‚ solid particles (the solute) when mixed in liquid (the solvent) can form a solution. This occurrence is called dissolving. I wanted to answer the question; does the temperature of water affect the speed at which sugar dissolves

    experiment 2. In this experiment I had a cup with sugar water and another with fresh water. As I swished the sugar water around in my mouth it felt as though the sugar water was intensifying. I also noticed that the longer I kept the sugar water in my mouth my taste buds became less sensitive to the sugar. Once I swished the fresh water I realized that adaptation was present. All though I was using fresh water it still seemed as though I had the sugar water in my mouth just a tad bit sugarless. My sense

    experiment was to discover if using sugar and tonic water with water would increase the growth rate of barley. In this experiment‚ we changed two variables‚ the independent variables sugar and tonic water. We added one tablespoon of each substance to four ounces of water which will be used to nourish the plant. We tested these experimental controls to determine if any of the substances would help accelerate the growth of the barley. If the sugar water or tonic water mixture successfully help accelerate

    Desalination of Seawater Project Paper The main concept of this Desalination process is reverse osmosis‚ but we will get into that later. Right now what is probably running through your head is what exactly is desalination. To put it simply desalination is the process to make seawater or otherwise undrinkable water safe to consume. This can be accomplished through a variety of methods such as the simplest but one of the ones that requires a lot of money would be distillation. Distillation is commonly

    Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Potatoes The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water in and out of plant cells. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers. Firstly I will explain what osmosis is. 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. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable membrane
