Donna Perry 11X2 Friday 14th Febuary 2003 Investigation Of Osmosis using potato Prediction I predict that the higher the concentration of the sugar, the lower the mass of the potato at the end of the experiment. This is because with a higher concentration of sugar in the water, there will be less water molecules in the solution, so it'll take less time for them to enter into the potato. Variables * Temperature - The warmer the solution, the quicker the osmosis will go. This is because the water molecules will be moving more quickly. * Difference in concentrations - This will speed up the rate of osmosis because there will be more particles that'll have to change places. * Surface Area - This will speed up the rate of osmosis because there will be more space on the potato for osmosis to take place. * Concentration of water in potato - the higher the concentration...
