An investigation to find the water potential of potato and carrot tubers in a sucrose solution‚ of concentration 0.00 – 0.50Mol‚ over a 24 hour period Interpretation Written Communication C1 From our graph it can be seen that the concentration of sucrose solution is 0.18 M at 0% change in mass for the potato and 0.355 M at 0% change in mass for the carrot. I will use these values to find the solute potential by using the calibration graph. I will work out the water potential by using the

Abstract: Osmosis is the transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of a higher water chemical potential to a region of lower water chemical potential. (Tzahi 2006) To demonstrate osmosis lab‚ artificial cells were made with various sucrose concentrations and were placed into beakers of different sucrose solutions. Overall the results showed that the higher percentage of concentration gradient of sucrose‚ the more the artificial cells absorbed. Introduction: The

Research Question: Which salt solution caused the sailor to die? Hypothesis: If the sailor drank the 40% salt water solution‚ then would die sooner‚ because the high amount of salt causes more dehydration. Variables: Independent- Salt Solution Dependent- Mass of Potato Control- Tap Water Materials: •Tap Water (50 ml for each cup) •Salt •Beaker •3 cups •3 pieces of potato •Scale Procedure: Step 1: Gather Materials. Step 2: Weigh each potato separately on the scale and record weight

My Investigation on osmosis Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion. While diffusion can describe the movement of any kind of molecule‚ osmosis is only about the movement of water molecules. To show this diffusion I will be using potato discs‚ of the same size and mass‚ in different concentrations of sugar solution to find out whether the mass of the discs increases or decreases depending on the concentration. I predict that when the sugar solution is 0% the mass will increase as there is

Potato osmosis report Operators Introduction The purpose of the liberation Liberation is to understand what is happening with the potatoes when it is in the water. To find out how osmosis takes place and what it ’s purpose as well as other examples of osmosis. The experiment is to understand what is happening with the potatoes when they are in the water and understand the osmosis process occurs. Osmosis Background facts Osmosis comes from the Greek "[-mo: ´ s] (new latin osmo ´ sis‚ Greek

What is osmosis? Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi permeable membrane. Why is it important? It is important to know what Osmosis is‚ and to understand it so that we understand what we are measuring‚ and so that we can use this understanding to apply to other situations so that we can gain further knowledge. We can also use this understanding to analyse our results. What we will do: We will put potato pieces of similar sizes in to test tubes of different concentrations

Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction Tonicity refers to the concentration of solutes in a solution (Lab 6-7). There are three stages of tonicity: Isotonic‚ hypertonic and hypotonic. Four unknown solutions were given and labeled as followed: Solution A‚ Solution B‚ Solution C‚ and Solution D. Since potato cells were used for this type of experiment‚ in an Isotonic solution the solute and water concentration are the same as inside the cell in which the isotonic solution contains 0.9% NaCl. In other

Five strips of potato of the same length were placed in different Petri dishes that contained water of different salt concentration. They were left for twenty minutes and the length

Osmosis of a Potato cell. Hypothesis is that the potato in saltwater is going to show that it will break down the cells of the potato. Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane‚ from a solution of low solute concentration to a solution with high solute concentration‚ up a solute concentration gradient. Net movement of solvent is from the less-concentrated to the more-concentreated.‚ which tends to redure the difference in concentrations. This effect can be countered
