(FRQ 2) The following experiment was designed to test whether different concentration gradients affect the rate of diffusion. In this experiment, four solutions (0% NaCl, 1% NaCl, 5% NaCl, and 10% NaCl) were tested under identical conditions. 15 milliliter of 0% NaCl were put into a bag formed of dialysis tubing that is permeable to Na+, and Cl-, and water. The same was done for each NaCl solution. Each bag was submerged in a separate beaker containing 300mL of distilled water. The concentration of NaCl in mg/L in the water outside each bag was measured at 40 second intervals. The result from the 5% bag are shown in the table below. TIME (Sec). NaCl (mg/L) 0. 0 40. 130 80. 220 120. 320 160. 400 a. On the axes provided, graph the data for the 5% NaCl solution (3pts) b. Using he same set of axes, draw and label 3 additional lines representing the results that you would predict for 0% NaCl, 1% NaCl, and 10% NaCl solutions. Explain your predictions. (4pts)
a. Title: 5% bag concentrations Y-axis: NaCl (mg/L) X-axis: Time (seconds) Use table to graph the points b. 0%: straight along the x-axis 1%: same general trend as the 5% but below 10%: ^ but above Explanation: The NaCl concentration in the water outside the bag increased as time passed, meaning the NaCl was moving from areas of high to low concentrations, so the other solutions would also see an increase in NaCl concentration outside the bag as time passed, except for the 0% bag, as there is no NaCl. Since the 10% bag has a higher concentration of NaCl, it will have a larger concentration of NaCl in the water outside the bag as time passes than the 5% bag. Since the 1% bag has a lower concentration of NaCl, it will have a lower concentration o NaCl in the water outside the bag as time passes than the 5% bag.
