Investigating the effects of different sugar concentrations on Osmosis Introduction Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution. A semi-permeable membrane allows only water molecules and small solute molecules to pass through the pores in its membrane. Osmosis continues until the water molecules are distributed evenly on both sides of the membrane. The aim of the experiment is to investigate the effects of different sugar concentrations on osmosis. To carry this investigation out, the osmosis in potato chips placed in different sugar concentrations will be measured. This will be carried out by measuring the masses of the chips before and after the experiment and from them discovering the percentage changes in mass. In 6 petri dishes, each containing exactly 50ml of their specific concentration of sugar, 3 chips are placed (this is a quicker method of doing repeats)....
