2/0 To se 6/03e how varying the concentration of Sucrose solution affects the water Gain or loses on a potato Chip during osmosis. Aim To investigate if osmosis occurs in potatoes and whether varying the concentration of sucrose solution affects the water/mass gain or loss in the potato chips when kept in a constant environment. Equipment * 5 same volume test tubes: to hold sucrose solution and potato chips. * 2M, 1M and 0.5 M sucrose solution (15ml) * Distilled water: as a control to all the other experiments ( to compare the pure water to the sucrose solutions) * Test tube rack: to hold test tubes. * Measuring cylinder (15ml): to measure sucrose solution) * 5 small pieces of potato (0.7*0.7*3.1 cm) * Knife: to cut potato into size. * Pipette: to transfer sucrose solution from container to test tube. * Mass balance: to measure mass of potato chips at beginning and end of experiment. * Timer: to time...
