Electrolysis
1. Jo and Tim set up this experiment:
a) Draw a labeled circuit diagram of their apparatus using the words given;
Electrolyte, anode, cathode, cell, lamp. (5)
Diffusion
2. Fig. 2.0 is an experiment demonstrating the process of diffusion.
In the experiment a white smoky ring is formed in the glass tube.
Osmosis
3. These two chips were cut from a potato. Each
was 50mm long. One was put into water and the
other was put into strong sugar solution. Use your ruler to measure each chip in cm.
5. Batches of 10 potato discs were weighed and then placed into one of 10 different concentrations
of sugar solution. After 30 minutes the potato discs were removed and re-weighed. Their
percentage change in mass was worked out. The results are shown in the graph below.
.
a) What process caused the change in mass of the potato discs? (1)
c) Use the graph to find the concentration of sugar solution that would cause no change in the
weight of the potato discs.
(2)
6. Write whether the following statements are demonstrating (a) diffusion, (b) osmosis or (c) neither.
Give an explanation in for each statement.
a) Water moves from a dilute solution in the soil into the cells in a plant’s roots. (2)
b) A spot of blue ink dropped into a glass of still water quickly colours all the water blue. (2)
7. An experiment is set up as shown in Fig. 3.0. Starch molecules are too big to go through visking
tubing. Water molecules and iodine molecules can go through. Iodine solution is brown in colour.
