Experiment Results
Predict Questions
1 Predict Question 1: What effect do you think increasing the Na* CI’ concentration will have?
Your answer: increased osmotic pressure.
2 Predict Question 2: What do you think will be the pressure result of the current experimental
conditions?
Your answer: pressure above the left beaker.
Stop & Think Questions
1 Why do you think there is no pressure change?
You correctly answered: Sodium is able to diffuse through the pores.
2 Why do you think there was no pressure change?
hitps:media pearsonemg.comibetbe_Omedia_apiphysioenOfext/act3! 189127123, 925.AM Physio€x Exercise + Activity 3
You correctly answered: There is no net movement of water because the solute
concentrations are the same.

Post-lab Quiz Results
You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly.
1 Ifyou double the concentration of a nondiffusible solute that is on one side of a membrane,
the osmotic pressure will
You correctly answered: double.
2 Which membrane did not allow Na* CI to pass through?
hntips:media pearsonemg.comibctbe_Omecia_aplphysioex/10/ext/act3!9127123, 925.AM Physio€x Exercise + Activity 3
You correctly answered: 20 MWCO.
3 When a solute is able to diffuse through a membrane
You correctly answered: equilibrium is reached.
4 Water diffuses
You correctly answered: toward solutes,
Review Sheet Results
1 Explain the effect that increasing the Na* CI concentration had on osmotic pressure and
why it has this effect. How well did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
There is an increased force of water to the high concentration side, resulting in increased
osmotic pressure because of the high concentration of molecules on that side.
2 Describe one way in which osmosis is similar to simple diffusion and one way in which it is
different.
Your answer:
Osmosis does not require energy, and neither does simple diffusion due to both moving
molecules from an area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration, they are
both passive ways of diffusion. Osmosis differs from simple diffusion is that in simple
diffusion the ions or membranes are transported across the membrane, and in osmosis,
only water can be transported via a selectively permeable membrane.
3 Solutes are sometimes measured in milliosmoles. Explain the statement, “Water chases
milliosmoles.”
Your answer:
Water will move by osmosis to from area with lower milliosmoles toward an area with higher
milliosmoles concentration, meaning water chases the area that is higher in milliosmoles.
4 The conditions were 9 mM albumin in the left beaker and 10 mM glucose in the right beaker
with the 200 MWCO membrane in place. Explain the results. How well did the results
compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
The albumin did not diffuse, because it is too large to fit through the filter, resulting in the
left side having more pressure because minimal water molecules could diffuse.
