Osmotic pressure

Ankur Sindhu Sep 20, 2011 CHEM 182-DL1 Prof.: Dr. Nidhal Marashi Lab 1: Colligative Properties & Osmotic Pressure Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory was to gain an understanding of the differences between the freezing points of pure solvent to that of a solvent in a solution with a nonvolatile solute, and to compare the two. Secondly, osmosis was to be observed to gain a proper understanding of how the principal of dialysis functions. Procedure: 1. Make

1) If the solution contains only sucrose then the osmotic pressure will increase substantially. This would represent a hypotonic solution because more water molecules are entering the cell meaning the solution contains no invertase. If the osmotic pressure has a slight increase than the solution contains sucrose and invertase due to the rate of the sucrose being broken down, however the cell will overtime begin to shrink. If the osmotic pressure remains close to the same than the solution contains

The capillary exchange is where necessary gases and molecules move between the plasma and the interstitial fluid. Both hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure contribute to this, as they help fluids move in and out of capillaries and through diffusion. Arteries carry blood to the body organs and tissues, and once they reach an organ, branch into small branches called arterioles. These arterioles then branch into capillaries, thin-walled blood vessels, that due to their thin walls are best suited

Title: Colligative Properties & Osmotic Pressure Background: Important terms to study from this lab assignment are colligative properties, membrane permeability and osmotic pressure. First, colligative properties are “those of a solution that depend solely on the number of solute particles present, not the identity of those solute particles. These properties include: vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure” (p. 17 lab manual). In this experiment

vapor pressure, and osmotic pressure are properties that can be manipulated based on the ratio of a solute in a solution compared to the pure solvent. A pure solvent is generally a liquid compound that has the ability to dissolve other materials chemically. Decreased freezing point is the temperature at which the solution or solvent becomes solid, leaving the solute behind. The boiling point is how much it takes for the pressure of the water to become more than the atmospheric pressure or when

Osmosis has long been taught to students, especially those in high school or introductory science classes, as a simple variation of diffusion. Because osmosis is the first of many natural phenomena understood by students, it is important that it is understood correctly. This however, is not the case. In fact, discrepancies exist between how osmosis is taught and understood between physics and chemistry or biology [1]. Moreover, since the agreement of the real processes involved within the physics

Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Potatoes The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water in and out of plant cells. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers. Firstly I will explain what osmosis is. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable

Furthermore, the solute diffusion forward osmosis is two-dimensional n of movement depends on the composition of the draw solution and the feed water, indicating that the diffusion may occur from the draw solution to the feed solution or vice-versa(Dova et al. 2007). The application of a forward osmosis has been studied for a wide range of commercial purposes for water purification, desalination, food processing, power generation and pharmaceutical industry (Cath et al. 2006). One of the fundamental

The purpose of this lab was to find the water potential and osmolality of potato cores after being soaked in NaCl and sucrose solutions and to compare them to each other and the expected water potentials and osmolalities from the literature. We did this by weighing potato cores, soaking them in the NaCl and sucrose solutions, and then weighing them again. This information was used to find the percent weight change of the potato cores. The potato core’s water potential mean for sucrose was -9.86 bars

solute-solvent ratio, to prevent rapid intake or expulsion of water. Osmosis causes a change in turgor pressure, and in osmotic pressure. Tugor pressure is the pressure exerted on the cytoplasm on the cell caused by the intake or expulsion of water. Osmotic pressure is the pressure of the water If the turgor pressure in a cell is too great, than the cell may explode. If the turgor pressure inside the cell is too low, the cell will shrivel. Potatoes are vegetables that are grown under the
