Effect of light on Silver Halide Salts Aim: To investigate the effect of sunlight and UV light on silver salts and to identify an application of this reaction. Hypothesis: The compounds exposed to sunlight (which already contains UV light) will decompose. The compounds which are not exposed to light (put in a dark place) will not decompose. Theory: Equipment: * 4 x petri dishes * 1 x glass stirring rod * 0.1 mol/L silver nitrate in a dropper bottle * 0.1 mol/L Sodium chloride

The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear cubes ‘Pyrus’ after being soaked in water Aim: The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear ‘Pyrus’ pieces shaped as cubes of 1cm. Background: Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential.

My conclusion is that the higher salt concentration in the solution the greater the decrease in mass of the potato will be‚ the graph I have drawn supports my conclusion. The 10% salt concentration shows that on average the potato loses 2.6% of its overall mass. 20% salt concentration shows a further decrease in mass this time it is an average of 13% overall mass decrease. 30% salt concentration shows an average decrease of 18.8% in overall mass. The 0% salt concentration actually shows a mass increase
