I am trying to find out if and how different concentrations of salt solution effect the weight and length of a potato chip in a certain amount of time. This will involve me performing the experiment, measuring the potato cylinders weight and length before and after the experiment putting results in a table producing charts showing the differences or similarities in results analysing the results and finally evaluating the whole experiment. I already know that osmosis will only occur across a semi-permeable membrane, which means that the membrane will only let certain things come into the cell and let certain things out (look at figure number 1), whenever there is a difference in the concentrations on the two sides of a cell membrane. I also know that osmosis is when water molecules travel from a diluted solution to a more concentrated one. Fig. 1 I predict that the cylinder of potato...
