    1168 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this lab, lab 4.3 Comparing the Concentrations of Saturated Solutions, we set out to find and compare the solubilities of two solids in water. In addition, we tested if solubility is a characteristic property of a solid in a given liquid. This lab allowed us to test and use a reliable way to measure the solubility of a solid. This lab can be replicated for any solid with the same procedure, thus it gives us a method to calculate solubility. The two solids we tested in this experiment were NaCl

  • The Effect of Different Concentrations of Sucrose Solutions in Potato Cells

    825 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Effect of Different Concentrations of Sucrose Solutions in Potato Cells Prediction: I predict that the potato cylinder that is immersed in distilled water will increase in size the most out of all the potato cylinders. I think this because, in this solution there will 10ml of pure water, no sucrose, which means the potato can absorb the most possible water through osmosis, there are no molecules that can‘t be absorbed. Whereas in the other solutions, the sugar molecules won’t be

    The Effect of Sucrose Solution Concentration on Osmosis in Potato Chips Plan I am going to cut six pieces of potato using a borer. They will all the same weight. I will make them all 0.7g. I will be able to make sure they are all the same weight-using scales. If a piece of potato is too big I will use a scalpel and a tile to trim it so they are all the same weight and then place these into a test tube each. I will hold the test tubes in a test tube rack. Using the measuring cylinder I

  • Investigate the Effect of Varying Solution Concentration on Osmosis in a Potato Chip

    3441 Words  | 7 Pages

    Varying Solution Concentration on Osmosis in a Potato Chip Prediction A definition of osmosis is: 'the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to a low water concentration across a semi-permeable membrane' (Oxforddictionary 2000). In a high concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sugar) is low. These solutions are usually known as a dilute or weak solution. But in a low concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sugar) is high. These solutions are usually

    Investigate how the Concentration of a Sucrose Solution affects the Rate of Osmosis Introduction: Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration until they are spread out evenly. An example of diffusion is when an aerosol is sprayed. The particles spread out from the high concentration at the nozzle into the rest of the room and that is how the smell moves. Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a weaker solution to a stronger solution through a partially

    1923 Words  | 4 Pages

    of Different Sugar Concentrations on Benedict's Solution PLANNING: Hypothesis and prediction: My hypothesis is that the sugar solution with the highest concentration will turn the precipitate the darkest colour. This will be the 10% sugar solution. This is because the more amount of sugar it contains the more it will reduce the Copper. It will be a much darker precipitate compared to the other two. Background theory: Benedict's solution is an aqueous solution of Copper (II) Sulphate
