This means that the water did not exit the cell as much in the second experiment because its gradient wasn't as large a gap. the 10% had more energy because of how much salt dissolved versus the 5%, so the 10% lost more mass because it had more kinetic energy to create a hypo-tonic solution.

Because the concentration gradient is larger, there would need to be more energy in order to move all the molecules to reach equilibrium, therefore increasing the rate of diffusion.

# data[].attributes.body
The concentration gradient affects the rate of diffusion because substances diffuses down its concentration gradient, from an area of higher mass to an area of lower mass. Because there is more kinetic energy in the egg when more salt molecules are in the cell, there is more chance of collision between the molecules which will push it to less dense areas, making the rate of diffusion faster.

# data[].attributes.body
When the concentration gradient increases the kinetic energy does as well because there are more particles to bounce around on each other and diffuse with the concentration gradient, and when the concentration gradient is lower the rate of diffusion is also lower
because there is less kinetic energy and thus is closer to a state of equilibrium (in 5% salt solution egg lost 0.14g in 10 min)

Question: Why does a steeper concentration gradient lead to a faster rate of diffusion?

A steeper concentration gradient leads to a faster rate of diffusion because molecules have a tendency to spread out due to their kinetic energy, and a steeper concentration gradient leads to the movement of more molecules, implying a faster rate of diffusion.

# data[].attributes.body
The water molecules both inside and outside the cell are moving randomly, since they have kinetic energy. A steeper concentration gradient means that more of the water molecules are able to interact and transfer kinetic energy, so the random motion causes more water molecules to move across the membrane.

Less of a difference in the mass of the egg when it was in 5% salt solution (lost 0.14 grams) than in 10% salt solution (lost 1.69 grams)

# data[].attributes.body
In the 10% salt solution (90% water), the egg lost 1.69g. In distilled water the egg gained 1.08g. In 5% salt solution (95% water) the egg lost 0.14g

# data[].attributes.body
A larger mass was lost in 10%(-1.69 g), than 5%(-0.14 g)

# data[].attributes.body
When the concentration gradient was about 5-6% in the 10% salt solution, the change in mass was 1.69g. However, when the concentration gradient was about 0-1%, the change in mass was only 0.14g.

Yes, the concentration gradient affects the rate of diffusion.

In solution with 10% NaCl, 90% H2O, the egg lost 1.69 grams of mass over 10 minutes. In the solution with 5% NaCl 95% H2O, the egg lost 0.14 grams of mass over 10 minutes.

# data[].attributes.body
Placing the egg in the 0 percent and 10 percent salt solutions led to a greater change in mass (-1.69g and +1.08g) than the 5 percent salt solution (-0.14g). This is because the 0 percent and 10 percent salt solutions were farther away from the concentration of the egg than the 5 percent solution.

The concentration gradient affects the rate of diffusion

# data[].attributes.body
Since the concentration of water was smaller outside the cell in the 10% solution, the water went from the cell to the outside of the cell. When the egg was in the distilled water the concentration of water was higher outside of the cell which means that the water went into the cell.

A higher concentration gradient leads to a faster rate of diffusion.

# data[].attributes.body
When the egg was placed in the 10% salt solution for ten minutes the egg lost an average of 1.69 g, when in the 5% salt solution for the same amount of time it lost an average of .14g. But, when placed in the distilled water for ten minutes the egg gained an average of 1.08g.
