Introduction I intend to find out if different concentrations of sucrose solution cause a selectively permeable membrane, in this case a potato chip, to become larger or smaller. I plan to use six different concentrations of sucrose solution and for each concentration I will take three results. I will then find the percentage change for each result. Finally I will find the average weight change and the average percentage change. * Equipment * 150ml beaker * Ruler * Scalpel * Small cutting board. * Core borer * Sticky labels * Sucrose solution * Measuring cylinder (100cm3) * Stop clock * Test tube * Test tube holder * Mass machine Safety In our experiment we used a variety of equipment. Some of which were quite dangerous. For example we used the razors to cut the potato cells into shape so we had to be extra careful not to cut ourselves. We were in the presence of glass and ceramic so we had to be careful not to break...
