experiment to demonstrate osmosis in potato slices
Answers
Here's the experiment to demonstrate osmosis in potato
Take two potatoes one raw and the other boiled.
Peel off the skins
Cut cube shaped cups from them and scoop the inner part a little to make it look like a cup
Pour sugar solution in the potato cups up to a level and pierce a pen at the level.
Put the cups in a beaker with water whose level is half to the height of the cup.
Make sure that potato doesnt submerge or float
Leave the arrangement for half an hour
CONCLUSION:
Water level in the potato cups increased because of the process of osmosis
Osmosis is a process of movement of water from a less concentrated medium to a higher concentrated one
Hope it helps!
Answer:
֎EXPERIMENT OF OSMOSIS USING POTATO֍
᪥AIM➛ To prove osmosis using potato.
᪥MATERIAL REQUIRED➛ One raw potato, one boiled potato, two beakers/bowls, two pins, water, sharp knife.
᪥PROCEDURE➛
⤷ Take the raw potato and boiled potato, peel off the skins.
⤷ Cut cube shaped cups from them.
⤷ Prepare a few ml.of saturated sugar solution.
⤷ Pour the sugar solution in the potato cup to a level.
⤷ Mark the level of sugar solution by piercing the pin.
⤷ Keep the potato cup in beaker.
⤷ Pour water in the beaker to half of the height of the potato cup.Ensure that the potato cup does not float or submerge in water.
⤷ Leave the arrangement for half an hour and note observations.Here water enters from beaker into potato cup.
⤷ Repeat the experiment by taking sugar solution in the beaker and water in the potato cup.Observe it after half an hour.
⤷ This time water from the potato cup enters beaker reducing the level of water in the potato cup.
᪥RESULT➛
⤷ By the above activities we can say that water always moved towards the sugar solution.
⤷ Such process in which water moves towards sugar solution due to process is called OSMOSIS.
