Experiment Results
Predict Question:
Predict Question 1: What effect do you think increasing the Na+ Cl- concentration will have?
Your answer : a. increased osmotic pressure
Predict Question 2: What do you think will be the pressure result of the current experimental conditions?
Your answer : c. pressure above the left beaker
Stop & Think Questions:
Why do you think there is no pressure change?
You correctly answered: b. Sodium is able to diffuse through the pores.
Why do you think there was no pressure change?
You correctly answered: c. There is no net movement of water because the solute concentrations are the same.
