Investigate the effect of solution concentration on osmosis. Aim The aim of my experiment is to find out the effect of sucrose solution concentration on osmosis in potato cylinders. To do this I will conduct an experiment. Introduction To carry out my experiment, I will place the potato tubes into a solution containing part sucrose and part water. The potato tubes will all be cut out of the potato using a cork borer and will all be cut to the length of 25mm. This will remain constant throughout each experiment. Each of the 5 times I do the experiment, I will increase the concentration of the solution by 0.25 mols/dm³, starting from just water in, going up to 0.25 mols/dm³, 0.50 mols/dm³, 0.75 mols/dm³ and finally 1.00 mol/dm³. The solution shall be my variable. The other variables I could have used are: - The temperature of the solution. - The size of the potato cylinders. - The...
