Osmosis Experiment Subject: Professor Egg-avier Duration: 3 weeks (Oct 2nd – Oct 16th) Week 1 On October 2nd my group was giving a raw egg (weighing 58.8 grams) and placed it into a clear mason jar with 200mL of vinegar. The ph levels of our vinegar equaled a 2 which tells us that vinegar is a fairly acidic liquid. Once submerged in the vinegar‚ little bubbles began to appear around the egg’s shell. We believed this to be carbon dioxide escaping from the shell. We left our egg to sit in the

the tube with the highest concentration of yeast will produce the most carbon dioxide and will have the fastest rate of alcoholic fermentation. Results Two separate experiments were conducted to determine the effect of yeast concentration and pH level on the rate of fermentation. The first experiment involved the placement of different concentrations of yeast‚ glucose‚ and distilled water in four different tubes. Pipette pumps were placed on each tube to allow the solution to ferment

Diffusion is one of several transport phenomena that occur in nature. A distinguishing feature of diffusion is that it results in mixing or mass transport without requiring bulk motion. Thus‚ diffusion should not be confused with convection or advection‚ which are other transport mechanisms that use bulk motion to move particles from one place to another. In Latin‚ "diffundere" means "to spread out". There are two ways to introduce the notion of diffusion: either a phenomenological approach starting

Physiology and Health An experiment to investigate what affect sucrose solution has on potato tissue. Background Osmosis is the movement of water molecules‚ across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high concentration of water to a low concentration of water molecules. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane with holes in it small enough for only water to go through it. Big molecules like glucose cannot fit through it. Osmosis allows plants to take in water through their roots

Osmosis Abstract The basic principles of Osmosis and Diffusion were tested and examined in this lab. We examined the percent increase of mass and molarity of different concentrations of sucrose in the dialysis bag emerged in distilled water and the potato cores emerged in concentrations of sucrose. The data reinforces the principles of Osmosis and Diffusion‚ and in a biological context‚ we can simulate how water and particles move in and out of our own

pH pH means Power of Hydrogen or Potential of Hydrogen. pH is a scale of acidity from 0 to 14. It tells how acidic or alkaline a substance is. More acidic solutions have lower pH. More alkaline solutions have higher pH. Substances which are not acidic or alkaline i.e neutral usually have a pH of around 7. Acids have a pH less than 7. Alkalis have a pH greater than 7. There are a lot of ways for finding the pH of something. One way is to use litmus paper. The pH paper is able to tell how strong

Lab Report: Purpose: The Objective of this lab was to learn how to measure the pH (or acidity) of commonly known fluids‚ using the correct tools and procedures. To then use that data to document the changes noticed when mixing those same fluids and changing their respective pH levels. Materials: In order to conduct this experiment several pieces of equipment and other materials were needed. The first item was a graduated cylinder‚ which was used in order to measure out the precise

Question 1 Critique Dr. Honeydew’s report. Specifically‚ discuss what is missing and how the missing information should have been presented. First the PH measurements‚ Dr. honey dew does not explain how the PH device was calibrated or if the blood sample was added or mixed with anything prior to the measuring of the pH (like water‚ etc.). In regards to the absorption spectroscopy‚ the method by which the concentration was obtained is questionable. Was the concentration known before the experiment

The Effects of Osmosis and Diffusion The experimentation of last week’s lab was in order to test the many effects of diffusion and osmosis amongst four experiments. One such experiment was testing the effects of molecular weight on diffusion in relation to the use of Agar. The methods performed included the use of two acids‚ HCl and acetic acid. Both acids were placed into an Agar-filled dish and‚ over increments of 15 minutes‚ data collection was taken based off the diffusion rate and the

of solutions and test their pH. Due to materials available pH strips were the only testing tools available. A table is setup to compare the strip color to its pH level. Four known solutions including bleach‚ lemon juice‚ soda‚ and baking soda were used. There was also an unknown solution in which the pH level was used to determine which solution it was. The pH scale is 1-14‚ a pH of 7 is neutral‚ less than 7 is acidic‚ and greater than 7 is acidic. Materials: * pH strips * 20 test tubes
