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.

Sodium polyacrylate is in most diapers and is toxic, yet incredibly absorbent polymer. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a cell membrane. During osmosis water moves down the concentration gradient. This means that the water moves from an area where it is more concentrated…

Diaper Debate When my wife and I were expecting, we made a list of all the items that should be purchased before the baby arrived. The one item every one of our friends and relatives said we could not have enough of was diapers. We started early on by pricing plain, standard, and no frills disposable diapers. These were the diapers I knew and assumed were the only option for an on-the-go family like ours. I slowly noticed other families with new babies and trends among them. Not all babies…
