Question

Lab Exercise 3B To be completed before beginning week two of the Osmosis and the Scientific Method Lab. 1. The following data were collected during a study of the effect of potassium chloride (KCI) solute concentrations on osmosis in a potato core over a period of 60 minutes. Table 1: Mass (grams) of potato cores in different concentrations of KCI 0% KCI 1 % KCI 4% KCI 0 Minutes 6.2 6.5 6.3 20 Minutes 6.3 6.6 6.1 40 Minutes 6.5 6.6 5.8 60 Minutes 6.7 6.8 5.6 Use the data in Table 1 and the formula for percent change in mass to complete Table 2 below. The first two calculations have been done for you as examples. a. Table 2: Cumulative percent change in mass of potato cores in different concentrations of KCI 20 Minutes 0 Minutes 40 Minutes 60 Minutes 0% KCI 1% KCI 490 KCI Cumulative % change Mass (current time point)- Mass (time point zero) Mass (time point zero) X 100 For 0% KCI at 0 min: b2-6.2 X 100 = 0% For 0% KCl at 20 min: 63-62 x 100= 1.6% 6.2 6.2 For 0% KCl at 40 minutes: For 0% KCl at 60 minutes: Complete the calculations for 1% and 4% KCL
