Investigating Osmosis :: Papers

Investigating Osmosis Aim To gravel out how osmosis affects the mass of a bit through assorted chou ascendents. Apparatus Petri dishes (6) Chips Ruler Thermometer 30 cm3 Solutions (6) DI, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1M Measuring Cylinder Knife slowness scales Definition Osmosis is the movement of water supply molecules from a high concentration of water molecules to a lower concentration of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. prelims Before doing this practical, I did a preliminary experiment. This was to help with my prediction and similarly to improve my main practical. This experiment was quick. It was just the same as the literal practical but it helped me to change certain things. I recorded 3 different changes in mass of the chips in separately of the solutions at different times.

This is to get more dead on target readings. It will be easier to spot any anomalous results if one chip is compared to two others. I have decided to leave the chips in the solution for a lifelong period of time (overnight) I found that the longer I left the chips in the solution the more the mass changed. I did this to get more accurate results. Variables The only thing verifying in this experiment is going to be the concentration of the sugar in each of the solutions in the 6 different
