Question

1. Carry out the following osmosis experiment:
Take four peeled potato halves and scoos each one out to
make potato cups. One of these potato cups should be made
from a boiled potato. Put each potato cup in a trough
containing water. Now,
(a) Keep cup A empty
(b) Put one teaspoon sugar in cup B
(c) Put one teaspoon salt in cup C
(d) Put one teaspoon sugar in the boiled potato cup D.
Keep these for two hours. Then observe the four potato cups
and answer the following:
(i) Explain why water gathers in the hollowed portion of
B and C.
(ii) Why is potato A necessary for this experiment?
(iii) Explain why water does not gather in the hollowed out
portions of A and D.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution:

Let h be the height and r be the radius of a cylindrical tank.

Height of cylindrical tank, h = 1m

Radius = half of diameter = (140/2) cm = 70cm = 0.7m

Area of sheet required = Total surface are of tank = 2πr(r+h) unit square

= [2×(22/7)×0.7(0.7+1)]

= 7.48

Therefore, 7.48 square meters of the sheet are required.

Answer 2

Answer:

7.48 is the right answer of this question
