Biology Investigation Into Osmosis: How Does The Concentration of a Sucrose Solution Affect The Mass of a Potato Chip? Introduction I am going to investigate how changing the concentration of sucrose in a solution will alter the mass of a potato chip placed in it for a certain time. To do this I need to set up a set of experiments where potato chips of known masses are placed in sucrose solutions of different concentrations and left for a time, after which their mass is recorded again. By carrying about the method below I will be able to observe and record the changes in a potato chip's weight that occur with different concentrations of sucrose solution then calculate the average percentage change in mass of each set of chips and draw a line graph. Method (For Graphical Illustration, see next page) 1) I will cut out twelve potato chips, with a scalpel,...
