    the solubility of solutes in variates of solvents and helped us to determine the polarity of the unknown solute. In this lab‚ we observed the effects of adding polar liquid solutes to non-polar liquid solvents. Materials used:  Safety goggles  3 graduated cylinders  ethanol‚C2H5OH  solid iodine‚ I2  glycerol‚ C3H5(OH)3  water  10 rubber stoppers  10 test tubes  kerosene  ammonium chloride‚NH4CL  an unknown solute The polarity of a solute or solvent which

    Osmosis Experiment Subject: Professor Egg-avier Duration: 3 weeks (Oct 2nd – Oct 16th) Week 1 On October 2nd my group was giving a raw egg (weighing 58.8 grams) and placed it into a clear mason jar with 200mL of vinegar. The ph levels of our vinegar equaled a 2 which tells us that vinegar is a fairly acidic liquid. Once submerged in the vinegar‚ little bubbles began to appear around the egg’s shell. We believed this to be carbon dioxide escaping from the shell. We left our egg to sit in the

    importance of diffusion‚ the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium is reached‚ or has been reached. When equilibrium is reached‚ it means that the concentrations in both areas are equal and no new movement will occur from one area to another

    TITLE: Transport across membrane OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of concentration of blackcurrant squash on osmosis in chipped potatoes. INTRODUCTION: In biology‚ osmosis is defined as the diffusion of solvent molecules (usually water molecules) across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. Osmosis is of great importance in biological processes where the solvent

    Osmosis Lab Report The essential focus of the experiment was to acquire data for the mass change resulting from osmosis in order to determine the carbohydrate solution of the carrot cells. The carrots were a vegetable used within the experiment with a carbohydrate solution around .5 M. The hypothesis is if there are carrots in different carbohydrate solutions then there will be a percent change in mass. The carrots have large vacuoles that hold water‚ this allows the mass to increase when the hypertonic

    countries from various continents. Potatoes were first known to be grown in the South America‚ in the Andes Mountains‚ and are a crop that is essentially able to grow anywhere in various types of soil. According to a film‚ Botany of Desire‚ there are more than 5‚000 varieties of potatoes‚ and 8‚000 years ago‚ potatoes were domesticated‚ seeing as how some potatoes were at first poisonous‚ contaminated with aceloide (which made the potatoes green). These ancient potatoes were grown on high altitudes‚

    Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to test different solute concentrations on the rate of osmosis. Artificial cells were filled with different solute concentrations and placed in water and weighed at equal time intervals to show how the water moves across cell membranes and down its concentration gradient into the lower concentrated area. The weights of the cells were recorded each interval‚ and then the rate of osmosis was found by calculating the corrected cumulative change in weight

    Title: Potato Osmosis Abstract: In this experiment was designed to study the effect of a concentrated solution applied to white and sweet potatoes. The solution’s impact among the potatoes were to be either hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic. The potatoes were first cut into fries with a fry cutter‚ and then weighed after being cut. The white and sweet potatoes’ weights ranged from .005-.015 grams. A total of 18 sugar solutions are to be made over the course of 3 trials. In each trial‚ 6 different

    nonvascular plants can get water. It is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until they are equal. An example of diffusion is red food coloring. When you put food coloring in a glass of water the color will spread through the water until all of it is a red tint. This shows the molecules of the food coloring equally distributed in the area of the water. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where only the water molecules move. This happens through
