Experiment to show how different concentrations of sucrose affect the mass of a piece of potato. Aim: To find how different concentrations of sucrose can affect the mass of a piece of potato left in the solution for a specific amount of time. Possible variables: I have worked out what would be the easiest and most practical variable to perform. I will be changing the concentration of the sucrose. This variable has been chosen from: changing the mass of potato, how long it will be left for, the temperature of the sucrose, the limits of the cell (how much water it can loose or gain, i.e., how flaccid and turgid it can become) and the pressure on the sucrose. I have chosen to change the concentration of the sucrose because I can find a dynamic equilibrium and I can see how the mass of the potato changes as the concentration increases. It...
