Answer #1

Osmosis is defined as a net movement of particles of solvent along its concentration gradient, across a selectively permeable membrane, in anticipation of equilibrium is established.

In the following experiment

The solvent particles are water particles, the selectively permeable membrane are the cell membranes of the cells in the potato tissue.

The concentration gradient is the result of the difference in the concentration of solute in the cytoplasm of the potato cells and the solutions.

I recently did an experiment where I mixed 2.11 ml of water, 2.01 ml of ethyl acetate and 0.059 g of vanillyn alcohol. When I did the theoretical mass calculation I got 0.0335g, but when I did the experiment and evaporated off the organic layer, I got 0.044g of product. Could someone please explain why I would have gotten more than what my theoretical mass would be? Could this have occurred from evaporating it too long or maybe during extraction,...

Experiment: Add 1/8 test tube chlorobenzene and 1/4 test tube water to a 100mm test tube. If the chlorobenzene rests on top of the water, tap the test tube to make it fall to the bottom. Add 0.7 g of salt and stopper and rock until it all dissolves. Let it stand for a minute to clear. Questions: 1) Which layer is on the bottom? (from my experiment I got that chlorbenzene was at the bottom) 2) Explain why. (Which...

I did an experiment known as "Identification of an unknown aldehyde and unknown ketone." First I added 0.2 mL aldehyde, 1 mL ethanol, 49 drops of water, 2 more drops ethanol, and 4 drops of phenylhydrazone in a flask. I put the solution in ice and crystals formed. My end product weighed 0.105 g. Please calculate the percent yield of the phenylhydrazone reaction assuming the aldehyde is the limiting reagent.

Hi there, I did an experiment using the titration of EDTA to determine the hardness of water. 1.)How do I determine the amount of moles of EDTA? 2.)How do I find the average water hardness of the water I used in this experiment? I started with 10 ml of water, added 5 drops of Ph 10 to it, and then EBT indicator. I then used the tirator to dispense EDTA into the beaker to find out if how much EDTA...
