[Osmosis Practical Report] Abstract: | The purpose of this investigation is to see if the concentration of Sodium chloride (NaCl) solution will affect the mass of the potato cylinder hence the rate of osmosis. This can be done by placing 5‚ identical in length (3cm) but different in weight‚ tubes of potato in 5 different beakers. Each containing an altered NaCl concentration. The concentrations used in this experiment were‚ 0%‚ 2%‚ 10%‚ 15%‚ and 26%. Potatoes were weighed prior to immersion

Potato Osmosis Biology SL - ATh INVESTIGATION “Potato Osmosis” INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a process that occurs at a cellular level that entails the spontaneous net movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the level of water in each region. Involved in this process are hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic solutions. A hypotonic solution is one with a lower osmotic pressure‚ indicating

the same for potato cores placed in varying concentrations of solutes of NaCl‚ glucose‚ and sucrose. This experiment was designed to test these predictions and compare them to data gathered course wide. We found that the mean water potentials were all within 0.26 bars of each other‚ and that the zero weight change osmolalities were all within 0.035 mols of each other. This supported Van’t Hoff’s predictions that water potentials and osmolalities would be the same. We had to collect potato core samples

was undertaken in order to observe the effects of changing the temperature of the solution that a potato cube is placed in. The temperatures that were tested in this investigation were 0°C‚ 20°C (room temperature)‚ and 70°C. This investigation tested the hypothesis: The rate of osmosis will increase as the temperature increases 2x2x2cm cubes of potato were weighed and then placed into 100mL of 10% NaCl solutions for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the cubes were again weighed to determine the amount

mass. To begin this experiment we filled 5 dialysis tubings with one of the five substances: water‚ egg white‚ NaCl‚ glucose‚ or sucrose. The equipment used was: 5 dialysis tubing‚ a scale‚ bekers‚ water‚ egg white‚ sucrose‚ glucose‚ NaCl‚ and 5 cups. We put the five dialysis tubing filled with one of the five substance into a cup filled with one of the substance: water‚ egg white‚ NaCl‚ glucose‚ or sucrose. Then we let them sit in there for 30 mins then took them out of the cups and remassed them

Drowning‚ also defined as a respiratory impairment caused by being in or under a liquid‚ restrains one’s intake of oxygen. The lack of oxygen prevented from being distributed throughout the body causes it to slowly shut down then the victim will eventually go unconscious and sometimes die. Although drowning restricts one’s breathing‚ drowning in freshwater‚ and drowning in salt water will react in the body in two completely different ways (Helmenstine‚ “Drowning in Freshwater).
