lab activity and observations for osmosis potato
Answers
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.
