Experiment to show osmosis in potato chips in different concentrations of sucrose solution - also investigating how potato chips change in volume and weight when placed in different concentrations of sucrose solution. Introduction: I am going to design and modify an experiment used to show osmosis in potato chips in different concentrations of sucrose solution. I am also going to investigate on how potato chips change in volume and weight when placed in different concentrations of sucrose solution. I will also conduct a preliminary experiment before my final experiment. Aim: To investigate the effect of different concentration of sucrose solution on potato chips. Hypothesis: I would expect the potato chips to turn flaccid when they are placed in a strong sucrose solution because the water from within the cells will diffuse out leaving the potato flaccid. The potato chips left in the weak sucrose solutions should turn turgid in a weak sucrose solution, due to the...
