POTATO INTO BATTERY

Abstract

a.Purpose

To lessen the consume of electric charge

b. Procedure

We insert copper and zinc electrodes in to the potato, close but not touching each other. We use Clip leads to connect our electrodes to the Multimeter to measure voltage between two electrodes or current passing through the multimeter. For this experiment we used a galvanized nail for our Zinc electrode.
c. Result
It did go well and the potato did give voltage to the equipment (clock) However, the energy needed depends on the potato also the voltage is not permanent for the potatoe’s voltage also runs out in a time period.
d. Conclusions therefore potato is an effective source of voltage and it can lessen the consume of electric charge however it also depends in the potato.

Acknowledgement

The researchers would like to acknowledge with sincerest gratitude the following persons for the support they gave to them in the accomplishment of this investigatory project. Our classmates, who helped us whenever we are misguided and whenever we have difficulties. Mrs, who serves as our second mother, who keeps on supporting us and serving as our guardian in school especially at times that we are in the wrong track. Parents, whom we lean on at most times. Who gave us all of the supports they can give for us to be able to study in a better school. Who keeps on providing us everything we need. And most especially to our Father God from above, who gave us the knowledge and the ability to do our project and who gave us instinct to think and decide and to know what’s right or wrong.

ntroduction:
Batteries generate electricity through a chemical reaction between two different electrodes and one electrolyte. Use of Copper and Zinc electrodes and Sulfuric acid as electrolyte is a proven method for this process.

    In all of these voltaic cells, copper was present as the cathode, and the anode was either Zn, Sn, Fe, Mg or Pb. The electrode with the most positive reduction potential in its half reaction had acted as the best oxidizing agent, or was the most likely to be reduced. For this experiment, copper was the best oxidizing agent, with a reduction potential of +.337 V. Copper was reduced in every reaction, also proving that it was the strongest oxidizing agent. The electrode with the most positive oxidation potential in its half reaction had reacted as the best reducing agent, or was more likely to be oxidized. The best reducing agent in this experiment was Mg, with a oxidation potential of 2.37 V. This was also proven in the experimental results, the reaction between copper and magnesium had yielded the highest voltage.…

    Osmosis Lab Response

    As the concentration of a solute in water will, through osmosis, transfer until the concentration is nearly the same both inside the cell, or in this case potato, and outside of the cell, the potato strips both gained and lost mass due to the different concentrations of sugar in water. As expected, the potato strips placed in the concentration of sugar water closest to the concentration of sugar water in a potato had the least amount of change in mass. As the potato strips placed in substance Z and substance A both changed 7%, the concentration of sugar water in a potato must be somewhere in between a concentration of 0.4 and 0.6. One source of error for this lab is that the amount of substance placed into each Dixie cup was not measured and therefore were not consistent. If this lab were repeated, it is suggested that the amount of substance be measured in order to produce more consistent results.…

    Through osmosis, I hypothesise that as the solution of the starch in each tube increases, the water content being reduced will cause the potato to release more water through the membrane to balance the starch solution, resulting in a decrease in the mass of the potatoes as the respective starch concentration increases, though maybe not for the 0% solution. Risk Assessment The potential danger of this experiment is relatively low. Nevertheless, lab coats and eye protection were worn when handling the starch concentration and extreme care was taken when cutting and weighing the potato using a scalpel on a slip-proof…

    A Fruit battery is a device used in experiments proposed in many science textbooks around the world. It is made by inserting two different metallic objects, for example a galvanized nail and a copper coin, into an ion bridge (for example a lemon, a potato or paper soaked in salt water or acid). The copper coin serves as the positive electrode or cathode and the galvanized nail as the electron-producing negative electrode or anode. These two objects work as electrodes, causing anelectrochemical reaction which generates a small potential difference.…

    We soaked several discs of potato cuted using a cork borer with around 1 centimeter of diameter and 2 milimeters of lenght into sucrose solutions with a different range of concentrations from 0 to 1.0M. Then we weighed all the potato cylinders on an electronic balance (see results) and recorded the results. We placed enough pieces of potato to cover the bottom of the petri dish and left them for 60 minutes. After this time we drained out the solutions from the petri dishes and carefully placed them in order of molarity on a paper towel.…
