Question

Prepare an experimental set-up consisting of two beakers. One beaker has water to which pieces of peeled carrots have been added. Second beaker, saturated sugar/ salt solution has been put in which pieces of peeled carrots have been added. Prepare this set up and keep it overnight before taking it into observation. Now answer the following questions:- a) What is the difference in the physical state of the carrots as observed in the two beakers? b) Name the process involved that has caused a change in the carrot piece in one beaker? c) Why has the above process occurred? d) Name the type of solution in each beaker with respect to the carrot pieces. e) Name one process in your daily life which works on the same principle.

Answer 1

In the 1st beaker the carrot swells due to higher water concentration out side the carrot. In the 2nd Beaker the carrot shrinks due to low water concentration. 

B. Osmosis
C. Due to different solutions concentration
D. Hypotonic and hypertonic respectively
E. Raisins in different solutions.
