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

The story of potato chips dates back to late 1850s‚ when a New York chef presented deep fried crisp potato chips to the railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt. Although the invention was made out of curiosity‚ it became an instant hit after Vanderbilt gave it an approval. Till date‚ potato chips are one of the most favorite snacks among many Americans. To keep up with the healthy trend at present‚ many chips makers now have baked alternatives to traditional chips. Here are few choices of our top chips

I lived on a potato farm in Ireland during the Great Potato Famine. It was the worst famine in Europe in the 19th century. This famine started in September of 1845 and ended in 1852. During this time‚ life in Ireland was extremely difficult. We suffered from much starvation and disease. Approximately one million of us died and another million emigrated to other countries‚ especially America. The population of the country dropped 20 to 25%. The Great Famine began mysteriously. My family

Diffusion and Osmosis of Solutes and Water Across a Membrane Brittany Bacallao Nova Southeastern University Abstract: This experiment gave a visual understanding of osmosis and diffusion. The first experiment proved that solutes would move down a concentration gradient if permeable to the selective membrane. The second experiment proved different solute concentrations affect the movement of water‚ depending on the solute concentration inside the cell. The purpose of this lab was to look for

The years during the mid 1840s to 1850s in Ireland were definitely not the best for many families‚ it was a time of tragedy. These were the years during the horrific times called the Irish Famine‚ also known as the Potato Famine or Great Hunger. The Irish Famine claimed innumerable amount of lives‚ leading to a “mass emigration of famine survivors to the United States” (McCallum). There were countless of families who emigrated to America during this catastrophe in order to escape starvation‚ poverty

knowing the cause of it. And there is no meaning in it if we just accept things without reasons. That’s why this experiment is conducted so that we may know how things happen in the level of cells. Objectives: 1. To demonstrate the principle of Osmosis and to apply it with actual life situations. Materials and Methods: • Materials: Compound microscope Glass Slide Cover Slip Tissue Paper Blade Rhoeo discolor Leaves Salt Solution • Procedures: Place a drop of distilled

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 weight gain (g) because the solution is hypertonic – a hypertonic solution results in the water diffusing out of the cell because

Europe. The second factor of overeating may be caused by boredom. Sometimes people eat because they have nothing to do. It is very easy to turn on the TV‚ take a lot of snacks‚ lie down on a couch and watch TV. That is why we have expression couch potato. I think that the eating is a form of entertainment for many people. What a habit! According to my opinion‚ population has become lazier and than ever. And last but not least‚ is very easy access to food than before. Just imagine how many opportunities

The process of osmosis and its importance to living organisms Osmosis is the process by which there is a net movement of water through a semi permeable membrane from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential. Within a cell‚ osmosis has the following effect. If the water potential of the cell is lower than that around the cell water will move across a concentration gradient into the cell. If this is the case‚ the increase in water in the cell‚ may cause the cell to swell

Osmosis investigation Aim: To investigate how sugar concentration affects the mass or size of a potato and find out the sugar solution. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane form a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal. This means that osmosis is like diffusion involving water molecules. Osmosis occurs across a partially permeable membrane‚ with holes
