Osmosis Lab Report The essential focus of the experiment was to acquire data for the mass change resulting from osmosis in order to determine the carbohydrate solution of the carrot cells. The carrots were a vegetable used within the experiment with a carbohydrate solution around .5 M. The hypothesis is if there are carrots in different carbohydrate solutions then there will be a percent change in mass. The carrots have large vacuoles that hold water‚ this allows the mass to increase when the hypertonic

Osmosis Trial experiment Aim: Our aim in this experiment is to find out which vegetable absorbs the most liquid over a given time due to osmosis. Chosen Apparatus: we will need to use: six test tubes; a test tube rack; an apple; a potato; a cork borer; a measuring cylinder; sugar solution; scales to measure in milligrams; a ruler; a knife; and a pair of tweezers. Apparatus Why we chose it Advantages Alternative equipment apple Its an absorbent fruit and is similar to a potato It

Objective: To observe the effects of osmosis on eggs placed in vinegar (5% acetic acid)‚ syrup (60% sugar solution)‚ and water (100% distilled). Hypothesis: Hypothesis #1: It was hypothesised that the egg would gain 59 grams of mass after soaking in vinegar for 24 hours. Hypothesis #2: It was hypothesised that the egg would become larger when soaked in syrup than it once was due to the hypotonic environment. Hypothesis #3: It was hypothesised that the egg would soak in water for 72 hours‚ losing

effects of osmosis will cause the change in mass to also increase due to higher concentrations of sucrose and the increased net movement of the water molecules within the solution. Analysis - When the glucose and starch solution was placed in the beaker of water for 25 minutes‚ the solution changed color from white to purple black. My hypothesis was validated because the experiment resulted in a change in color due to the effects of diffusion on the

Egg Osmosis Lab The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate an example of a spontaneous reaction and its connection to metabolism; in this case it was osmosis. The procedures that we used to complete the experiment were taking five eggs that had been soaked in a sucrose solution and then placing each one in containers of sucrose that each had different levels of concentration. The mass of each egg was measured before being placed into the solutions and then every 10 minutes after until they had soaked

Introduction This experiment was osmosis and diffusion. In this experiment I began by calculating the volume of a fresh chicken egg. Then to determine the effect of osmotic pressure change on a cell I soaked the raw chicken egg in vinegar for 24 hrs‚ and measured the volume of the egg after the shell had been dissolved by the vinegar. The egg was then submerged in corn syrup for 1-24 hrs‚ then measured and recorded the new egg volume. Finally the egg was submerged in water for 1-24hrs‚ again the

homeostasis and osmosis in action. The results of this experiment showed that eggs placed in a 4 M sucrose solution lost mass over time and had the greatest percent difference in mass compared to the eggs in other solutions‚ with the 4 M egg having an average of -25.13% difference in mass. The 0.0 M solution egg only had a 12.28 average percent difference in mass‚ the 0.5 M egg with 10.39%‚ and the 1 M egg with the least percent difference in mass‚ 6.40%. The 0.0‚ 0.5‚ and 1 eggs all ended up gaining
