AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OF SUCROSE CONCENTRATION ON OSMOSIS IN POTATO CHIPS My aim is to investigate the amount of osmotic activity between a potato chip and different concentrations of sucrose. The following affect the rate of osmosis: Temperature The warmer most things are the more quickly particles move, therefore increased temperature will increase the rate of osmosis. So, if a potato chip is in a highly concentrated solution the water molecules will quickly leave the chip because of the increase in temperature or if the chip is in a high water concentration the water molecules will go inside the chip. Time The longer you leave the potato chip in the solution, more osmosis will occur, so the greater the change in mass in the potato chip. Surface Area If the surface area of the chip is large, there would therefore be more space for osmosis to occur, so the greater the change in mass in...
