1.0 Introduction 1.1 Aim and Assumptions: The aim of this experiment is to observe the rate of diffusion of diethyl ether vapour into stagnant air, and then determine the diffusivity. An error analysis of this calculation also had to be carried out. The following assumptions made were: * Diethyl Ether is an ideal gas * Partial pressure at the top of the tube was equal to zero * Mass transfer resistance between the liquid surface at the bottom of the tube is insufficient, compared with the
3:1 (salt: water). In put Variables: -Molarity -Size of potato -Mass of Water -Molarity of Sugar -Length of time in the solution -Temperature of water Out put variables: -Weight of potato Key variables: -Molarity of sugar. This is a key variable because it has the most effective outcome because osmosis only works when there are different molarities in and outside of the potato other wise the diffusion theory of osmosis wont work. We are going to keep a fair test by:
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
Introduction: Without the millions of chemical reactions that occur every day, life would be completely different. An important class of common reactions includes those which involve the simultaneous transfer of electrons between chemicals, commonly referred to as redox reactions or oxidation-reduction reactions. Redox reactions are whole reactions composed of two different half reactions known as oxidation (where electrons are lost) and reduction (where electrons are gained) (Chemguide, 2013). When
Osmosis Planning Aim To investigate osmosis in potato chips in varying concentrations of solution (sodium chloride (Nacl) and distilled water) and its effects. To see the change in mass before and after the effect of osmosis. Osmosis Osmosis is the movement of water from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane. This occurs in situations such as the movement through a cell wall, it allows smaller molecules through but not bigger
Aim: My objective is to plan and conduct an experiment from which I should be able to draw a firm conclusion that will either prove or disprove any predictions I make. This essay aims to assess and investigate the effect of various solution concentrations on the activity of osmosis in plant tissue. Background scientific theory: Plants exchange gases (CO2 and O2) in maintaining vital respiratory processes and in carrying out photosynthesis; they absorb certain
investigate how equal masses of potato are effected in different concentrations of 1molar sucrose soloution. Aim: To investigate if osmosis occurs in potatoes, and if so, how it affects potatos of equal mass (2.5g) in different molar solutions of sucrose and water. Apparatus: -Cutting tile which will be used to cut the potato on. -Knife which will be used to peel the potato with and to cut to correct mass. -Burette which will be used to measure the solutions
to 0 Kpa, the higher the water potential. Potato tubers are made of plant cells. Plant cells always have a strong cell wall surrounding them. They also contain partially permeable cell membrane. They both have different way of being permeable to the molecules of water and other substances. Membranes are composed of phospholipid bilayer with proteins scattered amongst them. In watery solution the phospholipid molecules naturally forms a bilayer, two layers of phospholipid with phosphates on the outside

EXPERIMENT OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment is to develop an understanding of the molecular basis of diffusion and osmosis and its physiological importance. Students will analyze how solute size and concentration affect diffusion across semi-permeable membranes and how these processes affect water potential. Students will also
Introduction In this experiment I am going to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a differing glucose solution on the amount of osmotic activity, between the solution and a potato tuber of a given size. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate how living cells rely on osmosis, the diffusion of water. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules (H20) from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a
