The results of the diffusion experiment showed that the solid diffused farther and more quickly in the solid medium than it did in the liquid medium (fig. 1). This did not coincide with the original hypothesis that the solid would diffuse more rapidly in the liquid medium. However, I would still maintain that a solid will diffuse faster in a liquid because it is already known that liquids diffuse faster than solids because of their composition. Also, the purple color of the potassium permanganate spread throughout the entire test tube of water, while the methylene blue crystal did not diffuse throughout the entire petri dish of agar (fig. 2). Both substances reached a plateau and stopped diffusing after a certain number of minutes, which …show more content…
5), and confirmed that all of the liquid substances did pass through the filter, while the only solid substance that was used did not pass through. The filtrate at the end of the experiment was a diluted blue color, showing that water and copper sulfate passed through, and the test for starch was positive meaning that starch was able to pass through as well (fig. 6). The powdered wood charcoal was the only solid material and was the only one to remain in the filter after the experiment was complete. This is another example of a selectively permeable membrane since the larger, solid particles were not able to pass through, but the smaller, liquid particles were. The dialysis experiment did not concur with the original hypothesis that all of the substances would be able to pass through the dialysis tubing into the surrounding water in the beaker. Sodium chloride and sugar did pass through the membrane while starch, was not able to pass through (fig. 7). These results show that sodium chloride and glucose (sugar) are small enough molecules to permeate the membrane, but starch is a much larger molecule and therefore was not able to get through. This is understandable because starch has a much higher molecular weight than the other two
More activated copper was added to the filtrate and vacuum filtration was perform again. The error arrived when the filter paper was not replaced because there might have been a hole inside the paper that prevents all the activated carbon to be filter. Since the paper was pitch black, it was impossible to see if there is leakage. The filtrate was less blue after the second filtration. A third vacuum filtration was performed after adding much more activated carbon.
The water that was used in the experiment was from a pond that does not have any chemicals put into
After 15-20 minutes, color separation became visible; red and blue were shown around the purple as well as blue/yellow around green. Solution line stopped at 60cm. Data and Observation The water/salt solution percolates faster than the alcohol/water solution. Alcohol & water solution:
This purification process is signified by water. When
The solution continued to boil for 25 more minutes until a
These were the experimental groups because their solute concentrations and membrane permeability were very different and were able to show the two different reactions of osmosis comparing when the environment is hypertonic or hypotonic to the object. In the dialysis bag, the % change in mass at distilled water was positive and very high. As the molarity of the solution increased, the % change in mass also increased. In the potato cores, the % change in mass for the control of distilled water was very high at almost 20%. However, as the molarity increased, the % change in mass was negative and increasing.
The investigation was carried out to identify the presence or absence of biological molecules in serum 2216. If the concentration in each test tube of the dilutions carried out will be more concentrated then the concentration of the test tube before it, then the color will be at an equal concentration with the other dilutions performed. The hypothesis was wrong because of the difference in concentrations due to the different measurements within the dilutions done. The test for starch was to add a drop of iodine solution to the pipette in the spotting tile. A reducing sugar solutions is add inside a test tube with 3 drops to then add 3 drops of benedicts and plane in a water bath.
The sugar used in this experiment was created by mixing ten milliliters of starch,glucose, and regular countertop sugar. This was transferred into the joint water bottle tunnel using a funnel. Both ends of the tunnel were sealed shut and each measurements were taken every three minutes and final measurements were taken after 21 minutes. The results were
The experiment is done when the aluminum sulfate is mixed with the dirty water ("An Experimental Study of the Influence of Weak Convection on Perikinetic Coagulation."). The aluminum sulfate will then hook with the particulate matter and usually drags it down to the bottom of the glass/container ("Water Treatment Process - Coagulation."). Our 1G experiment shows that when aluminum sulfate is mixed with dirty water the particulate matter coagulates (DETAILS SOON). All of our 3 substances, dirty water, aluminum sulfate and fixate (COMING SOON) are not alive and will not need anything to help them. Our substances will not be needing any special requirements and can stay in the FME until it is boarded the ISS.
What is the effect of surface area to volume ratio on the rate of diffusion of the colour from the agar jelly cube? INTRODUCTION: Diffusion is the movement of spreading particles from high concentration to low concentration in an environment such as a cell. This major procedure is used in cells to source them with nutrients, water, oxygen, and to transport unwanted wastes such as carbon dioxide out of the cell or to different cellular organelles.
Diffusion and Osmosis Lab Report By: Jettica Williams BIOL 1107 Lab September 21, 2016 Prepared for Mrs. Fulford Lab Course Page Break The cell membrane act as a roadblock for cells. The cell membrane has a very hectic job. It restricts the access to what comes in and what goes out. The bond the membrane shares with others is the idea of accountability.
Sugar industry is forced to investigate other alternatives due to the expensive working conditions of different chemicals and ion exchange resins (Novontony, 1985). Ultrafiltration and octadecylsilyl-silicagel (ODS) have also have shown to its effect to remove the impurity and colorant from sugar syrup. Sugar processing is one of the most energy-intensive processes among the food and chemical industry (Hinkova et al., 2005), and so, membrane separation processes such as micro-filtration (MF), ultra-filtration (UF), nano-filtration and reverse osmosis appear to be funded in several applications by the sugar industry (Hinkova et al., 2005). MF membranes are applied for the separation of particles at the 0.1-10.0 micrometer (µm) ranges (Scholz and Lucas, 2003). These ranges include microorganisms, suspense materials, colloids and emulsions (Carwright, 1994).
Therefore, this experimentation indicated that the sucrose molecules cannot diffuse from the concentration of the dilute solution, while on the other hand the water molecules diffuse from the dilute solution to the concentrated one. Hypothesis: If the (independent variable) sucrose of the dilute solution is
The membrane only allows certain molecules to pass through, water molecules are easily able to go through (Freeman 2011). Since sodium chloride is a normal saline it contains salt. The salt ions are not easily able to pass through the cell membrane like water. Compared to water, the sodium chloride should make the potatoes weigh less than in water, which should support our
I believe the results will still be that of diffusion and dispersion, however, the time to completely diffuse will be different because each solvent has a different density. The heavier a solvent is, the longer diffusion takes. Why must you wait for the water to be
