Pelikan Biology 200A Section 004 Kimberly Schmidt October 2‚ 2012 Abstract: In this experiment we were trying to determine the osmolarity of potato tubers by weighing them before and after incubating them in solutions of sucrose with varying molarities. To find the osmolarity we took a potato and used a cork borer to obtain seven samples of potato tubers. We then prepared seven beakers with concentrations of sucrose ranging from 0.0M to 0.6M. After weighing the potato tubers one by one we cut

Determining the Concentration of an Unknown Solution Graph: The effect of concentration of CuS04 * 5H20 on transmittance. I solved for my unknown by plugging in “y” as my given transmittance value‚ which was 85.0. y = -278x + 100.12 .85 = -278x + 100.12 -99.27 = -278x X = .357M (concentration) The relationship between the transmittance values and the concentration is an indirect relationship. Whenever the concentration increases‚ the transmittance decreases. It can also be reversed

John Abarshi Mr Meinsma Chemistry December 14‚ 2010 Conductivity of Ionic solutions Introduction This lab report is about the conductivity of ionic solutions. In class we have been discussing wether all ionic solutions conduct equally well. If an solvent solution conducts electricity‚ then it must contain ions. So measuring the conductance of solutions can tell you whether the solutes in the solution are dissociated into ions. (Conductivity) Any type of solution‚ even ionic solutions‚ provide

of Part A in this experiment‚ it can be determined that Sodium Chloride had the highest amount of conductivity tested by all groups. On the graph above‚ the data shows that NaCl (sodium chloride) held the highest amount of electrical conductivity for all groups and on the table it reads the highest numbers across its row. Also as seen in the data above‚ ethanol had the lowest amount of conductivity with sucrose‚ acetic acid‚ ammonia‚ and MgCl2 following in ascending order. It can also be determined

of the wire increases every 10°C until the highest temperature is reached and the measurements are recorded. Conclusion The hypothesis that when the temperature of a wire increases‚ the resistance value of the wire will also increase and the conductivity of the wire will reduce is proven to be true. The temperature of the wire increases due to its power loss‚ which is calculated as I2x R.‚ where “I” is the current in the wire and R is the resistance. The higher the current in the wire or the higher

Experiment Report Title: Water Conductivity Level in Goa Gajah Research Question: How high is the water conductivity level of the water sources in Goa Gajah? Hypothesis: I predict the level of electrical conductivity of the water sources in Goa Gajah will be between the range of a normal drinking water‚ which is 0.0005 to 0.005 s/m. This hypothesis is based on the fact that conductivity largely concerns itself with the amount of salt in the water‚ and since none of the water sources are

OSMOTIC POTENTIAL OF CELL SAP OF PLANT EPIDERMAL CELLS Aim: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effects that the molarity of the sucrose solution and distilled water have on the plasmolisys of epidermal cells of a red onion. Hypothesis: Taking in consideration osmosis‚ and my knowledge about it‚ my prediction is that as the molarity of the solution under which the cells are exposed will increase‚ also the amount of plasmolysed cells‚ counted from amount of undamaged cells

Conclusion The research question that I asked myself before the experiment was “What is the osmotic potential of potato?” The answer I got after the experiment was that the osmotic potential of potato is very high because this experiment exactly showed what happened when there is Osmosis present and the following information will prove it. Our results greatly showed that there has been osmosis present. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane from a region of lower
