Answer:

The most accurate measurement is 2.829 cm.

Explanation:

We can round the decimals to a certain accuracy in order to make further calculations easier.To round a number to the nearest hundredth ,check the next place value to the right (the thousandths). If it's less than 5, remove all the digits to the right. If the place value is 5 or greater than 5, just add 1 to the previous digit (the hundredths place digit) and drop all other digits to the right.

In other words, to round off a decimal number, the procedure is as follows; if the digit to the right of the required number is a 5 or greater, add 1 to previous digit and drop all the remaining digits.  If the required number is less than 5, do not change the previous digit and remove all the remaining digits.

Here, a piece of metal with a length of 2.83 cm was measured using four different devices. The obtained measurements are 2.837 cm, 2.829 cm, 2.812 cm and 2.805 cm.

Thus, the first measurement 2.837 cm can be round off to 2.84 cm. The second measurement 2.829 cm can be round off to 2.83 cm. The third measurement 2.812 cm can be round off to 2.81 cm and the fourth measurement 2.805 cm can be round off to 2.81 cm.

So the most accurate measurement is the second one, 2.829 cm which can be round off to 2.83 cm.

A student performed an experiment with bags of dialysis tubing filled with distilled water to model the process of osmosis. Dial
Reil [10]

Answer:

Taking into account the principle of osmosis, the question that best addresses experimental design is  <em>How does the effect of environmental sucrose concentrations impact the  movement of water across a membrane?</em>

Explanation:

The experimental design of the student, made with dialysis bags and sucrose at different concentrations should recreate the principle of osmosis, of importance in living beings for organic homeostasis.

Osmosis consists of the movement of water - through a semi-permeable membrane - from a less concentrated solution to a higher concentration solution, following a gradient, to achieve balance.  

The student will observe in his experiment that water moves from the solution with less sucrose concentration to the higher concentration of sugar. Beakers with the highest concentration of sucrose will have the highest weight, due to the increase in liquid volume.

How does the effect of environmental sucrose concentrations impact the  movement of water across a membrane?

The experiment shows that:

  1. The water from the beaker with less sucrose concentration moved -through the dialysis tubes and the membrane- to the beaker containing the most concentrated sucrose.
  2. Different sucrose concentrations will attract different amounts of water, which influences the final weight of each container.

With this experiment the principle of osmosis is confirmed, where the concentration of a solute determines the amount of water that passes through a semipermeable membrane -following a concentration gradient- until equilibrium is reached.
