Labs 6 & 7
Diffusion and Osmosis
Diffusion
• dialysis tubing filled with
0.15mg/ml KMnO4
• tubing placed into a beaker
of water
• one beaker kept at into
room temp water, the other
placed into ice cold water
bath
Diffusion
0.06
0.05
Absorbance (545nm)
• KMnO4 particles should
diffuse out of the dialysis
bag and into the surround
beaker water
• take a sample of water from
each beaker at defined
times and measure its
absorbance at Abs 545nm

– detecting the presence of
KMnO4 particles
• because you did a standard
curve – you could plot this
as concentration vs. time
• diffusion should be higher

Diffusion
KMnO4 concentration (mg/ml)
• you have already calculated
the molar absorptivity for
KMnO4 (see spec lab)
• but you did a standard
curve and you could recalculate it
• for each absorbance value
– divide by the molar
absorptivity to get the
concentration
• the units are the same as
the standard – which was
mg/ml
• plotting concentration vs.
time looks just like
absorbance vs. time

Diffusion
• place a crystal of KMnO4 in a petri dish of water
and measure its spread through the water over
time
– diffusion results in the increasing diameter of the
KMnO4 “cloud” in the water
• place a drop of NaOH in an agar dish and
measure its diffusion through the agar
– agar is a colloid and will slow the diffusion of NaOH vs.
water
• same concept at the dialysis tubing study
– high concentration to low concentration
Osmometer
• based on saturated sucrose solutions
• submerged in pure water – i.e. hypotonic
solution (high [water], low [solute])
– low osmotic pressure
– water will move from high [water] to low
[water]
– volume of the sucrose solution increases
– sucrose solution moves up the tube
• SO: water movement into the osmometer
pushes the sucrose solution up
– you measured distance over time as a way of
measuring osmotic pressure
• many osmometers are attached to pressure
transducers that measure the pressure
physically “pushing” the sucrose solution up
Osmometer
• measured the distance the red
sucrose solution travelled up
the pipette and plotted it
versus time
• the slope of the graph is
essentially the osmotic
pressure of the water (or
sucrose solution)
– i.e. the driving pressure that
causes water to move
Potatoes and Turgidity
• immersed pieces of potato in increasing molarities of sucrose
– 0.0M sucrose = pure water
– up to 1.0M sucrose
• each sucrose solution has a defined number of sucrose
particles and free water molecules
– the higher the concentration – the higher the osmotic pressure
of the solution
• the osmotic pressure of the potato is defined also
– it has to be compared to the OP of the surrounding sucrose
solution in order to figure out which way water will flow
– hypotonic solutions – water flows out of solution into cells
– hypertonic solutions – water flows into solutions from the cells
• increased water movement into the potato slices will
increase its weight

• graphing the weight
change vs. time can show
you the rate of osmosis
• graphing the final weight
