    This lab report summarizes an experiment on diffusion using potassium permanganate crystals. The experiment marked intervals on a filter paper and recorded the time taken for the crystals to reach each interval. The results were tabulated. The report will analyze why the rate was faster at the first interval and discuss two ways to speed up the diffusion rate. It will also provide an example of diffusion in plants and animals.

    Lab #: 1

    Date: February 8, 2022


    Title: Diffusion
    Aim:
    Apparatus/Materials: Potassium permanganate crystal, Filter paper, Petri dish and Forceps
    Method:
    1. The centre of the filter paper was found and labelled as X
    2. Four 1cm intervals from the centre of the filter paper were marked
    3. Each interval was labelled
    4. The petri dish was placed on the filter paper so that its centre was directly on the X
    mark
    5. The forceps were used to put potassium permanganate crystal over the X mark
    6. The time for the potassium permanganate to reach each interval was recorded
    7. The results were tabulated

    Observation:
    Table showing rate at which potassium permanganate crystal reaches intervals
    Intervals Time
    Interval 1
    Interval 2 `
    Interval 3
    Interval 4

    Interpretation and Analysis:


    1. Why was the rate of diffusion faster at the first interval when compared to the other
    intervals

    2. Diffusion is a slow process, suggest and explain two ways in which the rate could be
    speeded up

    3. Give an example of diffusion taking place in plants and animals

    Limitation:
