et al 2004). Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (Brown 1999). Hypertonic is the solution with a higher salt concentration. Hypotonic solution is the solution with the lower salt concentration. My hypothesis is that the potato core will increase in size. When the solution is hypertonic‚ the potato will decrease in size making the potato hypotonic. Osmosis is really interesting‚ that is why I chose to write this report about

States of Matter Jun Ruan Solid Molecules are tighly packed and harder than liquids and gases. Examples: Ice‚ Coal‚ Salt Amorphous solid-a solid which has a disordered atomic structure. Examples: Glass‚ Rubber Liquids flowing freely but of constant volume. Examples: Water‚ Mercury‚ Alcohol Viscosity-a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. Surface tension-the force that acts on the surface of a liquid and tends to minimize the surface

Preparation of Standard Solutions and Use of a Spectrophotometer to Measure the Concentration of an Unknown Solution Introduction Concentration is the ratio of the quantity of solute to the quantity of the solvent or the quantity of solution. By knowing this‚ CO(NO3)2 *6H2O Purpose What is the percent transmittance of six different solutions of cobalt (II) nitrate hexahydrate using a spectrophotometer?

transitions. By comparing the spectrum of an analyte with those of sample molecules‚ you can get an idea as to the identity of the absorbing groups. Solutions of transition metal ions can be colored (i.e.‚ absorb visible light) because d electrons within the metal atoms can be excited from one electronic state to another. The color of metal ion solutions is strongly affected by the presence of other species‚ such as certain anions or ligands‚ an example of this is the chromium (VI)‚ Cr (VI) specie.

DETERMINATION OF THE WATER POTENTIAL OF POTATO TUBER CELLS. Method. Five sucrose solutions with varying molarity and one control containing distilled water were prepared and poured into test tubes. The potato discs were dried‚ weighed and added to the test tubes. The discs were then weighed again after a period of 24 hours. The percentage change in mass was then calculated. Apparatus.  Specimen tubes with stoppers x6  1cm3 diameter cork borer  razor

Contact: huntertuck1212@gmail.com Abstract This particular study demonstrated the overall effects of super cooling different types of aqueous solutions. In similar studies conducted upon super cooling water‚ researchers have only used distilled water in their experiments. In this study‚ however‚ rain‚ tap‚ and purified bottled

The solution my group used was NaCl‚ and we used varying concentrations to see if that would affect the osmolality of our potato cores. Our explanatory hypothesis was that concentrations of a solution and osmolality of potato cores would be unrelated. We predicted that even though there were varying concentrations of solute‚ potato osmolality would be

Purpose : The experiment this week had two different purposes. The first is to teach us about freezing points. This lab was designed to show us the freezing point of a pure solvent‚ in comparison to a solvent in a solution with a non-volatile solute. The second goal of the experiment is to teach students about osmosis. In the experiment‚ we got to observe osmosis as well as understand dialysis. Procecure : Part 1. Colligative Properties 1.
