An investigation to find the affect of sugar concentration on osmosis in potato chips Introduction: Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a partially permeable membrane. In this case, Osmosis applied to the practical because the aim was to see if a sugared solution had an effect on osmosis in potato chips, it was intended to find out if different concentrations of sucrose solution caused a selectively permeable membrane, or a potato chip, to become larger or smaller. It was planned to use six different concentrations of sucrose solution and for each concentration; three sets of results were taken. The change of weight for each result was then found and finally, the average weight change was found. Prediction: It was predicted that the higher the sugar concentration, water would transfer from the potato into the sugared solution making the potato decrease...
