Name ____________________________ Date ____________ THE EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION ON THE RATE OF DIFFUSION PURPOSE: This experiment will explore the concentration gradient by measuring the rate of diffusion in a number of theoretical cells. The objectives for this lab are: (1) To define concentration gradient‚ (2) To explain experimental data concerning different concentration gradients‚ (3) To complete a data table and prepare a graph to illustrate the data‚ and (4) To apply information from

SOLUTION AND CONCENTRATION A solution is a homogeneous mixture‚ made up of a solute dissolved in a solvent. Ex. In a water (aqueous) solution of sodium chloride‚ the sodium chloride is the solute and the water is the solvent. Solute – the component that is dissolved or is the least abundant component in the solution. Ex. Sugar‚ salt Solvent – the dissolving agent or the most abundant component in the solution. Ex. Water Common Types of Solution State of Solution State of Solute

It also created solutions containing varying levels of concentrations and densities. Equations were used to figure the molecular weight of the sugar‚ and the number of moles of sugar in the volumetric flask. There was also an equation to figure the Molarity‚ as well. As a result of the experiment‚ I now have a better understanding of the density of a concentration‚ and what Molarity is .

I. Research Question What are the effects of different sucrose concentrations on potato stripes which have been submerged in a range of solute sucrose concentrations. II. Background Information Osmosis is one of the four methods of moving particles across membranes along with simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport. Water is able to move in and out of most cells freely. Sometimes the number of water molecules moving in and out is the same and there is no net movement‚ but at

protein concentration of an unknown sample of BSA‚ and by using the standard curve. Abstract A spectrophotometer’s purpose is to use colors of the light spectrum to determine the concentration of light absorbing molecules in a solution. (p.59) In this particular lab‚ our mission was to determine the protein concentration and the standard curve of the unknown sample of BSA. This‚ by preparing five dilutions of the unknown solution of BSA together with other known concentrations‚ and then

has different concentrations on either side. Permeable means "allows anything to pass through". Membranes in cells allow small molecules (water) to pass through‚ but prevent bigger ones from passing. This is called "selectively permeable". Take a look at the following animation; If a selectively permeable membrane separates the two solutions‚ water moves through it in both directions at the same time. However‚ more water leaves a dilute solution (high water concentration) and passes into

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 phenomenon being investigated in the lab was how the concentration gradient affects the rate of osmosis in a cell. Osmosis is the passive movement of water from and area of high concentration‚ temperature‚ and pressure. The concentration gradient is the difference

Determining the Concentration of a Solution: Beer’s Law Purpose: The purpose of the experiment is to determine the concentration and formula of an unknown cobalt nitrate solution by measuring absorbance. Introduction: A Colorimeter will be used to determine the concentration and formula of an unknown cobalt nitrate solution. The colorimeter sends blue light from the LED light source to pass through the solution and hit a photocell. A solution with a higher concentration will absorb more

different sucrose concentrations then the tube with the lowest concentration of sucrose will expand the potato the most because the water will move into the potato to even out the concentration levels of the sucrose/ water ratio inside and outside of the potato was supported by the data. The data shows that the potato submerged in the lowest concentration of the sucrose water solution had the greatest percent change in mass at 15.2% for 0% concentration. Overall‚ the higher the concentration of the solution

membranes with little difficulty. This process is known as osmosis. The direction of motion is regulated by the relative concentrations of water and dissolved substances inside and outside the cell. Water will move from an area of high concentration of water molecules (low concentration of dissolved particles) to an area of low concentration of water molecules (high concentration of dissolved particles). It is difficult to observe osmosis at the cellular level since cells are very tiny and can only
