What is the Molar Concentration (Solute concentration) of a Potato?

-------------------------------------------------
1. What is the dependent variable for this experiment?
-------------------------------------------------
The dependent variable is the concentration (solute) of the potato.
-------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------
2. What is the independent variable for this experiment?
-------------------------------------------------
The independent variable is the concentration (solute) in which the potatoes are put in.
-------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------
3. What were some controlled variables (constants) for this experiment?
-------------------------------------------------
A particularly important controlled variable in this experiment was the type or batch of potatoes. This is because; often potatoes sold on the same supermarket may come from different places and therefore affect the experimental results. Another controlled variable was the place in which potatoes were placed; they were placed under the same sunlight/shade, same room temperature and general area of the class. This was done with a final objective of making the environment equal to all potato samples undergoing the experiment. Finally, another important controlled variable was the amount of time that each potato was left in solution.

    Absolute Concentration Lab Report

    There were six sucrose solutions: 0.0 M (distilled water), 0.2 M, 0.4 M, 0.6 M, 0.8 M, and 1.0 M. The dependent variable was the mass of the cores of apple tissue. Changes in the dependent variable were measured by weighing the mass of each set of apple cores before and after its submerging in sucrose solution. The initial mass was then subtracted from the final mass and divided by the initial mass to calculate the percent change of each set. Changes in the dependent variable were analyzed in the form of percent change of mass rather than change in mass in grams because each set of apple cylinders had a different initial weight, so calculating percent change helped standardize the data. The control of the experiment was the distilled water because it has a molarity of 0.0 M, meaning that no sucrose is added to it. Several variables were held constant. It was attempted to keep the size of each core of apple tissue constant. Other constants include the ruler and scale used to measure the apple cores, as well as the knife used to cut the…

    This exercise involves estimating the osmotic concentration of potato tuber cells by using a change in mass method. The null hypothesis states that there will be no change of mass of the potato disks after they have been incubated in any sucrose solution. This means that the concentration of sucrose that the potatoes are in will no effect the movement of water in or out of the potato cells. However, the alternative hypothesis states that the mass of the potato disks will increase after they have been incubated in a hypertonic solution. The mass of the potato disks will decrease after they have been incubated in a hypertonic solution. After the results have been gathered, appropriate estimations can then be made as to what the osmotic concentrations of the potato tuber cells are. Osmotic concentrations will either be hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic depending on the results of mass change of the potato tubers.…

    Will Bananas Brown Faster on a Countertop?

    Name Date Period (The name, date and period should be removed if selected for the Science Fair) Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to find out if bananas will brown faster on the counter or in a refrigerator. Hypothesis If a banana is placed on the counter and another banana is placed in the refrigerator, then the banana placed in the refrigerator will brown faster. Materials 2 paper plates 2 bananas pencil and paper to record results Procedures 1. Get two paper plates. 2. Place one banana on one of the paper plates and place it in the refrigerator. 3. Place the second banana on another paper plate and place it on the counter. 4. Record observations daily. Tables, Graphs and Charts BananaDay OneDay TwoDay ThreeDay FourDay FiveDay SixDay SevenCounter BananaNo changeNo changeSlightly BrownBrown spots appear darkerBrown covering most of BananaCompletely brown or blackRefrigerator BananaNo changeNo changeNo changeSome brown linesSlightly more brownBrown covering most of bananaCompletely brown or black SHAPE MERGEFORMAT Discussion of Results Manipulated (Independent) Variable One banana is placed on the counter and another banana is placed in the refrigerator. Responding (Dependent) Variable The banana placed on the counter browns faster than the banana placed in the refrigerator. It takes the banana on the counter six days to completely turn brown. It takes the banana in the refrigerator seven days to completely turn brown. Controlled Variables (Held Constant) The brand of banana was kept the same, along with the location of each banana. Conclusion Based on the data collected, the banana placed on the counter browned faster then the banana placed in the refrigerator. Therefore, the hypothesis was incorrect. Bibliography Brooks, John.

    Variables: The independent variable in this experiment is the pH level/amount of acid added to catalyst. For this experiment the researchers used Hydrochloric Acid (HCL). This variable is independent because it changes throughout the experiment where in one stage the pH level of the catalyst is within a neutral range and the next it is changed to an acidic pH level. The dependent variable in this experiment is the level of gas pressure/amount of gas pressure produced by the reaction, which is relevant to the experiment as it is the value being measured. The controlled variables are the weight/size of each potato slice tested, the testing kit used, and graphing calculator used.…
