The iodine lab demonstrated the concept of diffusion, the movement of molecules move from a higher concentration to a low concentration through a semipermeable membrane. In the experiment, we observed a beaker filled with distilled water and Lugol’s iodine solution enter a bag filled with glucose and starch solution through the semipermeable membrane provided by the dialysis tubing. While the beaker remained the same color throughout, the solutions in the bag changed from a clear color to a light blue color due to the influx of iodine indicating the presence of starch. Although water molecules are polar, they are small enough to move across the membrane until it reaches an isotonic solution. There was also now a presence of glucose in the…
With the before and after measurements in two graphs, one can easily figure out that no matter which solution the bear is soaked in, it will increase to some extent. In tap water, the gummy bear started with a mass of two point eight grams and changed 217.9 percent to eight point nine grams. The volume of the gummy bear started off at 1,296mm^3 and change 617.6 percent to a volume of 9,300 grams (Table 1). In the cup is sugar water, the gummy bear went from a mass of two point seven grams to seven point three grams with a 170.4 percent change. The volume of that gummy bear increased by 420 percent by going from 1,350mm^3 to 7,020mm^3 (Table 1).…
Osmosis in Deshelled Chicken Eggs Brooke Sandy Partners: Alexa Smarra, David Egesigh, and Yousef Bahliawah Abstract Throughout the process of this experiment, chicken eggs were used to test how well certain solutions would be absorbed. The objective was to determine the rate and direction of osmosis into and out of cells according to their diffusion gradients.…
In this lab the dialysis was used for the diffusion and osmosis of iodine, glucose, starch and water. However, starch was unable to pass through the membrane due to it being too large. This is where it does not fully resemble a cell membrane because it can not transform and undergo things such as endocytosis to allow all the molecules to pass through. Conclusion…
In this lab, the effects of osmosis on an egg without a shell will be observed; an egg will be submerged in water and then corn syrup. Osmosis, the process of water moving from a low concentrated area to an area of high concentration, is the main theme of this lab. The purpose of this experiment is to view the effects of an egg in a hypertonic state, hypotonic state, isotonic state and diffusion. Hypertonic is the movement of water leaving the egg to an area of higher concentration. When this occurs the egg becomes shriveled.…
Method: In this experiment each group received 2 chicken eggs whose shells have been dissolved off. This gave us a differentially permeable membrane so that we can observe osmosis and what happens when the membrane is presented with different solutions. Since we did not know the concentration of the egg, we had to assume that it equaled the concentration of the membrane. We then had the ability to determine the concentration based off the assumption and the rate of osmosis.…

If higher concentration of sucrose solution has a potato, then the solution will make the potato to be shrink than lower concentration of sucrose solution does, so the mass of potato should be decreased. The reason is that osmosis is the movement of water particles from a high water potential to a low water potential through a selectively permeable membrane. Then, water molecules from the potato will go out through the semi permeable membrane to the sucrose solution. As the concentration gradient of sucrose solution is high, the mass of potato will be less due to the isotonic of osmosis that tries to be isotonic that a concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cell.…
The dialysate is the liquid that helps remove the waste or unwanted products from your blood. It also helps get your electrolytes and minerals to the proper levels in your body. The machine also monitors the flow of your blood while it is outside of your body. Fluid removal is made by different processes in hemodialysis versus peritoneal dialysis. In hemodialysis the dialysis machine uses pressure to pull liquids across the membrane from the blood and into the dialysis liquid.…
In this lab we saw some both drastic and subtle increases and decreases in mass of the potato. These changes are due to the difference in amount of water and solute in and around the potato cell. Decreases in mass were seen in the higher concentrations of sucrose. For instance when the potato was soaked in the 1M sucrose concentration, the mass of the potato decrease by 35.05%. This is because there was a higher concentration of solutes and a lower concentration of water outside the cell, and a higher concentration of water and a lower concentration of solutes inside the cell - a hypertonic solution.…
The forward osmosis (FO) process is an emerging separation/desalination process. It is rapid process compared to other membrane processes such as reverse osmosis. The physical phenomenon of forward osmosis (FO) can demonstrated as the motion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane due to difference in osmotic pressure driving force through the membrane. The membrane enables only water molecules to pass through when salt molecules are rejected. The forward desalination technique makes use of a draw solution with high osmotic pressure to draw the water molecules from a inlet solution such as brackish with lower osmotic pressure in contrast to the draw solution.…
Discussion: Based off the results from this lab the student was able to determine whether the model cell and cell environment each represent a hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic solution. The first solution cell and environment the student had, was water and sodium chloride. In this instance water was the model cell (what was in the dialysis tubing) and Sodium chloride was the surround environment (plastic cup). The initial weight of the model cell was 13.2g, but after sitting in the sodium chloride solution over night the cell lost water and only weighted 11.6g. Since the solution of the model cell- in this case water- left the cell and entered the surrounding Sodium Chloride it meant the cell had a hypertonic reaction. Having a hypertonic…

PURPOSE/QUESTION The question that we will answer using this laboratory report is, “How is the rate of dissolving sugar affected by changing the temperature of the water, changing the rate of stirring, and changing the size of the crystal?” The independent variable of each laboratory experiment is different, however they are all being changed to get consistent and effective results for one dependent variable. The three independent variables are the temperature of water, rate of stirring and size of the crystal and the dependent variable of the all the experiments is the rate of sugar dissolving. HYPOTHESES Below are the laboratory experiment hypotheses that we have formed as a group to figure out what will happen to the rate of dissolving under…
