Investigating the Water Potential of a Potato. I have been asked to investigate the water potential of a potato. During my investigation I will not actually be able to measure a value for‚ as it is a pressure value (kPa). Osmosis is a special form of diffusion involving only water molecules. It is defined as "The passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane" Definition of Water Potential. The potential for water

Surface Tension Properties of Liquids Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to measure and record the surface tension of water and other aqueous solutions using capillary rise method techniques and practicing lab safety. In this laboratory the surface tension of water depends on the concentration of the following solutes; NaCl‚ acetone‚ and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Intermolecular interactions as well as other phases (solid‚ or air) make a liquid exist. The data collected will show

Analysis The trend that my graph and results show is that when the potato was placed in a solution that had a higher concentration than the chip itself‚ the potato lost weight (0.4‚ 0.6‚ 0.8 and 1.0 molars). In the same way when the potato chip was placed in a solution that had a lower concentration than itself‚ the potato chip gained weight (0.0 and 0.2 molars). For my results I calculated the percentage gain/loss in weight using the following formulae: Average change in weight/weight at

CHAPTER 3 Response surface methodology 3.1 Introduction Response surface methodology (RSM) is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques for empirical model building. By careful design of experiments‚ the objective is to optimize a response (output variable) which is influenced by several independent variables (input variables). An experiment is a series of tests‚ called runs‚ in which changes are made in the input variables in order to identify the reasons for changes in

Question 1 Surface level diversity Surface level diversity are those differences that are easily noticeable such as age‚ gender‚ ethnicity/race‚ culture‚ language‚ disability etc. Surface level diversity is easy to be measured and managers/recruiters can fall into the wrong practice of discrimination based on these factors. For example‚ thinking that performance degrades with age‚ they might prefer younger workforce. Surface level diversity is often difficult to change. For e.g. racial differences

Osmosis in Potato Tubers Andrew Dickson Background When a plant cell is bathed in a solution of the same concentration (isotonic) as its intracellular environment‚ its mass and volume remain the same. This is because water enters and leaves the cells at the same rate. There is no net loss or gain of water by osmosis. Samples of cells can be placed in a range of solutions of different concentration. The cells will gain water by osmosis when placed in solutions which are more dilute (hypotonic)

Aim To observe and measure the effect of osmosis on the mass of potato using a starch solution. Introduction In order to measure the effect of osmosis‚ eighteen pieces of potato were cut and placed in six groups‚ each group of three pieces cut to weigh as close as possible to one another. For each potato group‚ a test tube was half filled with a starch solution varying in concentration from 0% (water) to 1%. Hypothesis Through osmosis
