In the early 1800s life in Ireland wasn’t easy‚ Irish citizens got by day to day by farming and relying on the potato. The potato was their main source of food and money. With out the potato the Irish would have nothing. No one was prepared for what was about to happen in 1845‚ the beginning of the Great Irish Potato Famine. The Irish Potato Famine was the worst tragedy in the history of Ireland. The outcome of the famine would result in hundreds of thousands dead‚ an failure of the economy

Mass % of Sucrose in Chewing Gum Purpose To find the mass percentage of sucrose in chewing gum and compare the actual mass to the mass indicated on the package and compare the masses to that of different brands of chewing gum. Hypothesis The theoretical mass percentage of sucrose (C12H22O11) in chewing gum. Materials - Sample of chewing gum + wrapper - Electronic balance Procedure 1. Form groups of 3‚ and distribute a different brand of gum to each member of the group. 2. Record the brand

Analysis The trend that my graph and results show is that when the potato was placed in a solution that had a higher concentration than the chip itself‚ the potato lost weight (0.4‚ 0.6‚ 0.8 and 1.0 molars). In the same way when the potato chip was placed in a solution that had a lower concentration than itself‚ the potato chip gained weight (0.0 and 0.2 molars). For my results I calculated the percentage gain/loss in weight using the following formulae: Average change in weight/weight at

variables are the potato and onions. The dependent variable is the variable whose value is measured to determine the extent of the effect of another variable to it‚ as in an experiment. In osmosis lab‚ the dependent variable is the length of the potato. The controlled variables are the amount of water‚ amount of salt‚ and the size of the potato. If the potato is placed in a higher salt concentration‚ then the potato will decrease its size. We started the lab by cutting the potato core length (44

Introduction In this experiment I am going to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a differing glucose solution on the amount of osmotic activity‚ between the solution and a potato tuber of a given size. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate how living cells rely on osmosis‚ the diffusion of water. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules (H20) from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region

Title: Potato Osmosis Abstract: In this experiment was designed to study the effect of a concentrated solution applied to white and sweet potatoes. The solution’s impact among the potatoes were to be either hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic. The potatoes were first cut into fries with a fry cutter‚ and then weighed after being cut. The white and sweet potatoes’ weights ranged from .005-.015 grams. A total of 18 sugar solutions are to be made over the course of 3 trials. In each trial‚ 6 different

When the Irish Potato Famine Struck Ireland On a sunny morning in 1845‚ Irish farmers were going to check their crops. A farmer named Abraham Fitz found black potatoes in his fields. He thought it may be only the one‚ so he moved over 4 rows and dug another potato out of the ground. This one was black and rotten. This causes Abraham to travel to his neighbors house and ask about their potatoes. His neighbor’s potatoes were black‚ rotten‚ and giving off a foul stench. This would later be discovered
