eInvestigating water potential of swede The aim of our experiment was to investigate the water potential of swede and then use our results to help us determine the water potential of plant tissue. This overall flow of water from a dilute area of high water potential to a more concentrated solution of low water potential across a partially permeable membrane is called osmosis. I predicted that the swede cylinders which are put in a test tube with a low potential of sucrose solution would become

potato of the same length were placed in different Petri dishes that contained water of different salt concentration. They were left for twenty minutes and the length of each potato strip was recorded after the experiment. The experimental results show that the length of the potato strip increased when placed in water of 0%‚ 2% and 4% salt concentration while the length of the potato strip decreased when placed in water of 6% and 8% salt concentration‚ indicating that the salt concentration of the

Investigation of Water Potential in a Root Vegetable Introduction Background Information: Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential‚ down a water potential gradient through a semi-permeable membrane. If a plant cell‚ or an item with similar properties is put in water‚ three different things can happen: • If the surrounding area has a higher water potential‚ the cell will increase in mass through osmosis. The cell will

The first lab we did was overall fascinating. Each station had something different to offer and revealed results that I would not have guessed. The exercise that profoundly stuck out to me the most was the “water tank‚” lab. The procedure of the lab was to shoot a red laser beam into the tank of water from three different directions. I first shot the laser from above the water surface‚ then from below‚ and finally from the side of the tank. Interestingly enough‚ each direction‚ the laser would bend

Water Wheel Work‚ Power‚ and Efficiency Pre-Lab Preparation: Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to create an efficient water wheel that would produce a productive time in lifting the cup of nuts and bolts that was attached to the pipe used in rotating out water wheel. The more efficient our wheel was the better the time we would have in lifting our cup. We were then able to observe the work that was needed to turn the axel‚ the time that is taken to bring the cup of washers to the axel‚ and

Lab Title: "The Effect of Salt on the Boiling Point of Water" Lab Question: How does adding salt to water affects it’s boiling point? Prediction : In this paper‚ a newly proposed model based on solvation between pure solvent and salt for prediction of salt effect on vapor–liquid equilibria is presented by using only the vapor pressure depression data of pure solvent+salt systems that compose the mixed solvent with salt system Materials : 200 mL of distilled water‚ 2 beakers

The purpose of this lab was to model the significant differences in density that oceans experience when glaciers and polar ice caps melt. It demonstrated that the variation in density greatly affects salt water. I discovered that the increase in freshwater causes a decrease in density. I made three claims. First‚ the higher the salinity of the water is‚ the denser it will be. This was shown in my data by the fact that‚ with 0mL of fresh water‚ the density was 1.108 g/mL For every milliliter of fresh

Water Testing Lab Conclusion In this lab‚ chemical tests were used to check for the presence of calcium‚ chloride‚ and sulfate ions in water samples. To do this‚ the testers started with five samples: a reference‚ a sample of only the chemical being tested for‚ a control‚ distilled water‚ two home water samples‚ and a school water sample. To test for the ions in the water‚ a chemical that would react with the ion and create a precipitate was added. If the precipitate was not easily visible‚ a
