Experiment to find the effect of different concentrations of sucrose solution on osmosis using Visking tubing. Introduction Osmosis is a special type of diffusion, where water diffuses across a selectively permeable membrane. This would then stop as the concentration of water is equal on both sides of the membrane. The movement of water is from a lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This leads to this experiment in which the Visking tubing will act as a membrane between the solutions. Knowing the above information, a prediction can be made such that a Visking tube containing a very low concentration of sucrose solution will have a less effect than that which has a higher concentration. This is due to the movement of water from the test tube into the visking tube. Experiment equipment Chemicals: Distilled water 0.0mol dm-3 sucrose solution - distilled water 0.5mol dm-3 sucrose solution 1.0mol dm-3 sucrose solution 2.0mol dm-3 sucrose solution Apparatus: Boiling test tubes...
