b.) The mass decreased or increased in each cylinder‚ depending on if the solution was hypotonic‚ hypertonic or isotonic. In Cylinder (A) the mass decreased‚ so liquid was released from the potato‚ because the cells in the potato would have burst if even more was absorbed‚ whereas the length stayed the same. In Cylinder (B) the mass and length increased‚ which means the potato cells absorbed some Sodium Chloride (NaCl)‚ so the cells don’t shrivel up and die. For Cylinder 3 the mass and length also

September 10th‚ 2013 EXPERIMENT 1 LEARNING BASIC OPERATIONS: THE EFFECT OF PH ON A FOOD PRESERVATIVE Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate a competitor’s claim that the food preservative‚ sodium benzoate (C6H5COONa)‚ made by Fresh Foods International (FFI)‚ changed into a new substance in stomach acid. Stomach acid has a pH between 1 and 3 due to the hydrochloric acid content. Based on the net equation given in the book as well as the solubility of the product our hypothesis

of Hydrogen ions‚ our cells cannot function properly. This experiment was conducted to determine if the reaction rate changes in response to a variation of acidic‚ neutral‚ and basic solutions. The experimental results indicated that the basic/high pH solution has a faster rate of reaction in the solution. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that catalyze and convert molecules into combinations of other molecules which is necessary for the functions of human life. These enzymes are affected

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

dissolved Carbon Dioxide on the pH of Water Aim: To investigate the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the pH of water. Hypothesis: The dissolved carbon dioxide will cause the water to turn acid‚ lowering the pH when carbon dioxide dissolves in water in which it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3). Materials: Straws‚ distilled water‚ safety glasses‚ pH probe‚ computer‚ universal indicator‚ gloves‚ lab coats‚ measuring cylinder‚ data logger‚ printer‚ pH chart. Substance of risk Nature

IB Biology Sheran Gu Meghan Lena Nov. 15th Influence of pH on Enzyme Activities How does the pH of solution influence the speed of enzyme activities? Enzymes are protein catalysts and chemical that speed up chemical reaction without being involved in the reaction. They are involved in the human digestive system to help people digest food more efficient. Food are substrates to be break down and absorb through the digestive system in the body. Substrate is a molecule that bond with the active site
