Osmosis and Diffusion seems like complicated terms but in reality they are both very simple to understand. With this lab I had to create the "lab". This shows how osmosis and diffusion happened between the substances I mixed up. With this lab the tube with the water inside it swelled but creating a heavier weight within the 24 hours but when I had the chance to weigh the tube it weighed less because it was trading places with the corn syrup. Thus the tube filled with corn syrup and the and the glass filled with water. The same process happened with the tube filled with corn syrup and 24 hours later the two flipped. I like to think of these processes as an algebra equation to get the correct answer you have to flip numbers or letters to get them to the opposite sides. The photos below show more of detail of what happened.
This is my information in graph form. This graph shows the amount of liquid measured with a scale.
Measured in Grams
This graph shows the change in weight from the original weight and the change in weight to the next day. Through out this lab and the 24 hour wait I noticed that the bags and substances in the bag flip. The Water in cup and Corn syrup tube is now Water in bag and Corn syrup in the cup. This change also happened with the Corn syrup in tube and Water in cup. Over time tube expands because of water rushing into the tube and the Corn syrup traveling into the bag. This diagram will give you a better visual.
And just for fun... does anybody remember Osmosis Jones??? Here is the video trailer :)
