The red dye diffused faster in both materials. 2. Yes‚ since the red dye is lighter it diffuses faster. 3. The rate of diffusion does change after time. The longer the dye sits the less it spreads in

1. Provide aim and background information 1.1 Diffusion is the process which molecules dissipate into a solution evenly over a period of time. An example is putting sugar in your coffee‚ after a while if you don ’t mix the solution‚ the sucrose will over time‚ go through the process of diffusion and be distributed throughout the coffee. Osmosis is movement of H2O molecules passing through a permeable cell membrane to the less concentrated solution‚ eventually to reach an equivalent number of molecules
Premium Osmosis Concentration Chemistry
Process of Diffusion and its importance in living organisms Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions down a concentration gradient i.e. from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. For a diffusion system to be efficient‚ it should have a large surface area so that high amount of substances can be exchanged at a time. It should also have a thin membrane and a continuous supply of substances‚ as a thin membrane means that the diffusion pathway would be short‚ and the continuous

Anjali Patel Riley Egan‚ Nick Morrison 10/2/13 Block 2 LAB REPORT OUTLINE FOR DIFFUSION/OSMOSIS LAB Introduction: Diffusion is the net movement of small or uncharged molecules or substances from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. There is simple diffusion‚ as explained‚ and facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion‚ on the other hand‚ involves larger or charged molecules or substances that need a protein tunnel through the membrane to help the substance enter and
Premium Osmosis Diffusion Chemistry
this lab was to observe passive transport of molecules through diffusion and osmosis. We had to keep close observation on two dialysis bags and explain how we measured the change in weight as diffusion and osmosis occurred throughout the experiment. Cells produce an energy called Kinetic Energy. This causes molecules of the cell to move around and bump into each other. Diffusion is one result of this molecular movement. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration

Practical to Investigate Diffusion and Osmosis Collect the following equipment: 1x beaker 1x length visking tubing 1x pipette 1x pair safety glasses Instructions – always wear safety glasses! 1. Fill your beaker ¾ full with water 2. Tie a knot in one end of your visking tubing 3. Using your pipette‚ transfer some concentrated sugar solution to the inside of the visking tubing‚ leaving enough space to tie a knot in the open end 4. Add a few drops of red food colouring to the inside of the visking

Brian Toohey Biology Mrs. Heimforth 12/06/10 Diffuse the Osmosis Section 2: Introduction Step 1: The scientific concept of this lab was to see how osmosis transferred the substance through the cells to reach equilibrium. Step 2: My hypothesis was that the bag with 60% sucrose then it would be heavier than the bag with tap water or 30% sucrose. I thought this because I thought that there would be more of a substance change in 60% sucrose. Section 3: Methods First get 3 pieces of the same

1.0 Introduction 1.1 Aim and Assumptions: The aim of this experiment is to observe the rate of diffusion of diethyl ether vapour into stagnant air‚ and then determine the diffusivity. An error analysis of this calculation also had to be carried out. The following assumptions made were: * Diethyl Ether is an ideal gas * Partial pressure at the top of the tube was equal to zero * Mass transfer resistance between the liquid surface at the bottom of the tube is insufficient‚ compared with the

INTRODUCTION Passive diffusion‚ also known as simple diffusion‚ is used to describe the exergonic reaction of a substance where the substance passes in the direction of the concentration gradient. Most of the molecules

Diffusion and Osmosis of Solutes and Water Across a Membrane Brittany Bacallao Nova Southeastern University Abstract: This experiment gave a visual understanding of osmosis and diffusion. The first experiment proved that solutes would move down a concentration gradient if permeable to the selective membrane. The second experiment proved different solute concentrations affect the movement of water‚ depending on the solute concentration inside the cell. The purpose of this lab was to look for
