Kunal Shrivastava 20/07/03 An Experiment to Investigate the Effects of Varying Sucrose Concentration on the Mass of Potato Chips The aim of my experiment is to investigate the effect of varying the concentration of sucrose on a potato chip. I aim to observe the change in mass, and I hope to view what happens to the chips as the concentration increases, and I hope to see the effect that osmosis has on the chip. The experiment that I am conducting uses the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. Partially-permeable membranes are very thin layers of material which allow some substances to pass through them but prevent other substances from passing through. For example, a partially permeable membrane may allow water molecules to pass through it, but may not allow larger...
