Turgidity Experiment Aim - Find the Relationship between turgidity of potato cells and the concentration of the surrounding medium. Preliminary Work - We did a test experiment using our instructions that our teacher had given us, to see how we would conduct the real experiment and to improve our timing because we had been slow in carrying everything out so we knew the next time that we would be a lot faster in completing the experiment. Apparatus - 40ml of Deionised Water, 40ml of Sucrose solution (0.25), 40ml of Sucrose solution (0.50), 40ml of Sucrose solution (0.75), 40ml of Sucrose solution (1.0), 5 Test Tubes, 1 Test Tube Rack, 1 Knife, 1 Stopwatch, 1 Weighing Scale, 1 Turgidity measurer, 5 Measuring Cylinders, 1 Tile for cutting potato, 5 Sheets of filter paper. Variables - Amount of water, Amount of Sucrose Solution, How long the potato chip is (length), Possibly the temperature, Turgidity Before the experiment, Experimental Variable - The variable that I have chosen to investigate the turgidity of potato chips when dipped in...
