Introduction In this experiment diffusion and osmosis is the main idea. When using diffusion and osmosis you are trying to separate different solute concentrations on either side of the membrane. Only a solute's relative concentration, or water potential, affects the rate of osmosis. The higher the concentration of solutes, the faster water will flow through the membrane to equalize the concentration. The way we describe the movement from higher to lower concentration or lower to higher concentration is called hypotonic solution and hypertonic solution.

Hypothesis:

My Hypothesis for diffusion that the starch solution will be hypotonic and diffuse into potassium iodide (IkI).

Hypothesis for osmosis is that each of the individual dialysis bags will increase because of the different concentration of the solutions. Which makes this and hypotonic experiment.

Hypothesis for this experiment is that each of the four cylinders of potato will decrease in mass, because of the solution/concentration of each cup.

    Bag #1 increased the most in size because the solution inside was of a higher concentration of sucrose than that of Beaker #2 so therefore the solution of Bag #1 was hypotonic and water moved into the bag from the solution of the beaker at the greatest rate because it had the highest difference.…

    The reason of this experiment was to identify the properties and effects of osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. (Miller/Levine) Osmosis occurs when there is an area of higher and lower concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of higher concentration. The three types of concentrations are hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic. When in comparison to another solution, a hypertonic solution has a lower concentration, a hypertonic solution has a higher concentration, and an isotonic is when the two solutions have an equal concentration. The experiment tested the relationship between the concentration of an egg and solutions of different concentrations. The hypothesis is that an egg placed in distilled water will gain mass while an egg placed in syrup would lose mass.…

    Results/ Discussion: The effect of the chloride ion on its rate of diffusion in agar means it will diffuse faster because it is more concentrated. We graphed the diffusion of chloride ions rather than sodium ions because while the sodium ions do diffuse in to the agar the chloride ions from the NaCl will combine with silver ions, from AgNO3 and create a white precipitate. The white precipitate allows us to measure the the white band through the agar at different points and determine the rate of diffusion of the chloride ions. If the the agar concentration was increased 10% the rate of chloride ion diffusion would most likely decrease since it would be a denser gel. The rate of osmosis for tube 1 was 0 g/hr, tube 2 was 1.13 g/hr, tube 3 was 3.63 g/hr, tube 4 was 6.39 g/hr, and tube 5 was 7.51 g/hr. The rate of osmosis depends on the concentration of sucrose the water will move from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. The factors that could have contributed to any errors in measurements, are incorrect pipetting, gives you less or more of the required amount needed in the dialysis bags, and will change the mass of each bag that is to be recorded.…

    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 different solutes that can cross an artificial membrane and to observe the effect of different concentrations of sucrose on the mass of a potato cell. Results for Part One suggested that the molecular weight of albumin and starch was too large to pass through the dialysis tube, but glucose and sodium sulfate molecules were small enough to pass through the dialysis tube. Also, a decrease in water weight occurred due the dialysis tube being placed in a hypertonic solution. Results for Par Two showed the potato cell having a molar concentration of 0.2734, which caused sucrose concentrations above 0.2 M to have a decrease in mass. Inversely, sucrose concentrations below 0.2 M caused an increase in mass.…

    A way to relate this to the real world is that people could use the concept of osmosis to make more accurate administering IVs to put into patients in hospitals. Osmosis is extraordinarily important in the biological processes where the solvent is water. This transport of water and molecules across the membranes is essential to many processes in living organisms and keeping them healthy. In general, this experiment helped understand the different ways osmosis works and how concentration can change the weight of…

    of dialysis tubing, 25 mL of sucrose solutions with concentrations of 0.02 Molar, 0.04M, 0.06M, 0.08M, 1.0M, as well as 25mL of distilled water, six 250 mL beakers, a balance, and paper towels. We first cut the dialysis tubing into 6 pieces, each 1ft. long, and placed them into a beaker of water. We then tied off the dialysis tubing and poured 25 mL of distilled water in. We repeated this with the rest of the five pieces dialysis tubing, pouring a different molarity of sucrose solution in different dialysis tubes. After all the tubes were filled and tied, we then dried the bags and weigh each one on the scale. After all the data was recorded, we filled all the beakers about ¾ full of distilled water, placed the bags into each beaker in unison, and waited 30 minutes. Next, the bags were removed from the beakers, dried, and weighed separately. We expected the mass to increase with increasing molarity because with the higher the concentrations, more water would need to be diffused into the bag to reach…

    In experiment 5.1 in order to observe diffusion we examine the Brownian movement by observing carmine on a wet mount slide, and by using dialysis tubing, we investigate the selective permeability to reducing sugar, glucose, starch, and iodine potassium iodine. In experiment 5.2 we use samples of ox blood and Elodea plant to observe the net flow of water from the surrounding solution into the cells. In experiment 5.3 in order to estimate the osmolarity of the potato tuber cells we use the methods of change in weight and change in volume.…

    In this exercise, we tested diffusion through dialysis tubing. This was done through a demo with the teacher, rather than individually in groups. First, a piece of 2.5cm dialysis tubing was obtained. Then one end was folded and clipped securely so that a solution poured into the bag would not leak out. Next, the other side of the bag was opened. For step two, a 15% glucose/1% starch solution was tested for the presence of glucose with Benedict’s, and we recorded the data in a table. Using more 15% glucose/1% starch solution, 15 mL was placed in the dialysis bag. The other end was tied,…

    The lowest percent change in mass of one the potatoes were the control (0.0 M), and the one in the 0.1M solution. They presented a weight change of 14.7% and 10.1% respectively, in contrast to the 28.7% and 17.4% weight change in the potatoes in the 0.5 and 0.6M solutions. The hypothesis was supported by the data obtained because it stated that the potatoes’ tubers’ tissue would loose more weight the higher the solute factor in the outside solution. When the potato tubers’ where placed in high-­‐in-­‐solute solutions it dehydrated the the potatoes tissue making it loose weight. The water inside the potato was forced to leave the inside of the tissues cells because of the higher solute…

    Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. The purpose of this lab is to compare the three different types of solutions affect on the relative size of the vacuole to the cell, the outer membrane of onion red cells (tunics) are used to figure out the different types. In the red onion you can see effects promptly when the onion cells are placed in different type of solutions. The effect of the solutions is shown through the purple part within the membrane since that’s where the vacuoles are present.…
