Hydrogel Lab Report

Decent Essays
Question: What do you mix to make hydrogel?
Claim: Hydrogel is formed when salt, water and polymers are mixed together.
Reasoning: We measured the mass of the grains and polymers. The grain's mass was 2.1 grams after we subtracted the Dixie cup. The polymer's mass was over 210 grams because of the mixture. To construct the experiment we carefully cut open the diaper over a ziploc bag and carefully collected the grains into a corner of the bag avoiding breathing them in. We then cut the corner of the grains into an ice cream cone shaped and dumped them into a Dixie cup to be measured. After we got the grains measure we then poured them into a 300-400 mL beaker and added 100 mL of distilled water, We then stirred it right away and eventually

    Purpose and Background Cells divide in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is used to produce cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell for growth, asexual reproduction, or repair after injury. Cells that are produced by mitosis are diploid, meaning that they have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Meiosis is used to produce haploid cells that have only one set of chromosomes, a mix of chromosomes from both parents. Meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from their parent cells.…

    Interactive Question 7.2 Cite some experimental evidence that indicates that membrane proteins drift. A good form of experimental evidence is Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching, aka FRAP. In the FRAP process, membrane proteins are labelled with a green fluorescent protein, and part of the plasma membrane is “bleached” with a laser, causing them to lose their fluorescence. The part that was bleached will eventually become fluorescent again, as molecules drift in by diffusion.…

    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).…

    The purpose of the diaper lab was to see if the concentration of solutes in a solution has an effect on the amount of liquid absorbed by a diaper. The experiment tested how well the diaper would retain liquids with a different solute concentration. The hypothesis driving the experiment was if a hypertonic solution is added to a diaper, then the diaper will be less absorbent because the water will be drawn out of the sodium polyacrylate (powder) in the diaper due to osmosis. Sodium polyacrylate is in most diapers and is toxic, yet incredibly absorbent polymer. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a cell membrane.…
