Investigation On Osmosis

... Investigation On Osmosis By Alex Rignall Investigation On Osmosis Aim To investigate how much change there is in the mass of a potato chip in varied concentrations of a sucrose solution. Prediction Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of any of the solutions molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a cell membrane or a partially permeable membrane, which lets small molecules through and does not let large ones through. I predict that the lower the concentration of sucrose in the solution the more the potato chips will expand. I can say this because I know that there will be more water molecules and therefore osmosis will take place between a lower concentration of water molecules and a higher concentration of water molecules that are separated by a partially permeable membrane such as a
