Concepta Cassar 10.5 Osmosis : Coursework Aim: The aim of my investigation is to determine the osmotic properties of a potato and how osmosis within the potato is affected in different concentrations of sucrose and water [molar solutions]. How does the mass of the potato correlate with the concentration of the solution? Is there an isotonic point in this experiment? What's the 'isotonic point'?: If the concentration of the molar solution is equal on both sides, the water will move back and forth but it won't have any result on the overall amount of water on either side. This point in osmosis is known as the isotonic point as "iso" means "the same". How can we determine when this equilibrium has been reached? What is osmosis?: Osmosis is a form of diffusion. It is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi permeable membrane. The...
