Hey ! For all those who are wandering why this happens here's the answer .It happens for three reasons .1 .Osmostic concentration : Osmosis occurs from low osmotic concentration to high osmotic concentration ( ie : Hypotonic to Hypertonic ) .2 .Free energy : Osmosis occurs from mediums of high free energy to low free energy .3 .Entropy : Osmosis occurs from regions of low entropy to high entropy . I hope this was a helpful explanation ! Enjoy your lab session :D
What else can I help you with?
What are some things that can happen if you drop a piece of metal into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water?
It could sink. (The metal's density is greater than water.) It could turn into a ball of flames. (If you dropped a chunk of sodium into graduated cylinder, it would react with flames or sparks.)
Why does the water curve when you put it into a graduated cylinder?
The water curves in a graduated cylinder due to a phenomenon called capillary action, which is influenced by the adhesive forces between the water molecules and the glass of the cylinder. Water molecules are attracted to the glass, causing the surface of the water to rise along the edges, creating a meniscus. This curvature is typically concave for water in glass containers. The shape of the meniscus is also affected by the balance between cohesive forces among water molecules and adhesive forces between the water and the cylinder.
If A spherical ball is immersed in water contained in a vertical cylinder how do you Calculate the rise in the level of the water?
To calculate the rise in the water level when a spherical ball is immersed in water in a vertical cylinder, you can use the Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The volume of water displaced by the ball is equal to the volume of the ball. Calculate the volume of the ball using the formula for the volume of a sphere, then use this volume to determine the rise in water level.
What is water displacement?
Water displacement is simply when something (e.g. a block) is put into water, and the water level rises. This is because the block is taking up space, and the water has to move somewhere, and the only place to go is up.
Why should you measure a liquid at the bottom of the meniscus?
The liquid molecules are more strongly attracted to the graduated cylinder than to each other. This causes the liquid to rise up on the sides of the graduated cylinder. Therefore it is important to read the line, even with the center of the meniscus, and at the bottom of the meniscus to accurately measure the volume of a liquid in the graduated cylinder. If you are still a bit confused I also found some information at this website: http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistrylabexperiments/qt/meniscus.htm
What causes the water level rise when you put an object in a graduated cylinder?
When you put an object in a graduated cylinder, the water level rises because the object displaces water equal to its volume. This is known as Archimedes' principle. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the object that is submerged in the water.
When a rock is placed in a graducated cylinder containing water the height of the water will?
The height of the water will rise a level equal to the volume of the rock.
Which property of marbles causes the water level to rise when they are put in a graduated cylinder?
The property of marbles causing the water level to rise in a graduated cylinder is due to their volume displacing an equal volume of water. The principle behind this is Archimedes' principle, which states that the volume of an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the volume of the fluid it displaces.
What instrument would you use to find the volume of a irregular solid?
To find the volume of an irregular solid, you can use a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. First, fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water and record this level. Then, gently submerge the irregular solid in the water; the rise in water level indicates the volume of the solid, which can be determined by subtracting the initial water level from the new water level. This method effectively measures the volume of the solid without needing its dimensions.

If a graduated cylinder has a current water level of 30 ml and you add an object which causes the water level to rise 53 ml what is the volume of the object you placed in the water?
The volume of the object placed in the water is 23 ml. This can be calculated by subtracting the initial water level (30 ml) from the final water level (53 ml).
What is the curvature that forms when water molecules stick to side of graduated cylinder at liquid air interface?
The curvature that forms when water molecules stick to the side of a graduated cylinder at the liquid-air interface is known as the meniscus. This curvature occurs due to surface tension and adhesive forces between the water molecules and the glass surface, causing the water level to either rise (concave meniscus) or fall (convex meniscus) compared to a flat surface.
If A spherical ball is immersed in water contained in a vertical cylinder how do you Calculate the rise in the level of the water?
To calculate the rise in the water level when a spherical ball is immersed in water in a vertical cylinder, you can use the Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The volume of water displaced by the ball is equal to the volume of the ball. Calculate the volume of the ball using the formula for the volume of a sphere, then use this volume to determine the rise in water level.
A sphere of radius 2 cm is dropped in to a cylinder of radius 4 cm which cotain of water the rise in the level of water is?
0.6 cm
Describe the method you would find the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as an class ring?
Drop it into a container half full of water and measure the amount of milliliters that rise and then turn the difference of the first and second capacities into cm3.[TIP: 1mL=1cm3 ]
Which tool is used to find the volume of a liquid?
Multiplying the height, depth and width of the cube together (which in a true cube will be identical to the length of one side cubed) will give you the volume of that cube. The units will be whatever units the lengths were in, cubed. For example, a cube which has sides each of length 2 metres is worked out as: 2m x 2m x 2m = 8m3 Which is the same as: 23 = 8m3
If a cylinder of radius 2cm and height 4cm is submerged in a graduated cylinder of radius 3 cm containing a liquid By how much does the liquid rise?
I would say that the liquid rises by 1.77cm... This can be obtained as follows given that cylinder of radius(r)=2cm, height(h)=4cm is submerged in another cylinder, determining the volume of the cylinder being submerged =16*pi. When this cylinder is placed in another cylinder the liquid will rise by an amount which equals the volume of the cylinder being inserted.(By Archimedes principle). Using this 16*pi, determine the height using radius= 3cm , we get h=1.77cm
