Calorimetry
Measuring the energy taken in and given out during a chemical reaction
Use this to measure amount of energy(calories) in food
Equation for calorimetery
energy transferred= mass of water x 4.2 x temp increase
Diffusion
high to low of particles moving from a high conc to a low conc
Osmosis
High to low transfer of water through a parshly permeable membrane
Active transport
Low to high movement of substances across a membrane against concentration gradient
Percentage change equation used in experiment of loss of mass in potatoes disk
Change in mass / start mass x 100
