Investigation on the effect of different Concentrations of Sucrose Solution On Potato Chips Planning Aim: I hope to investigate how potato chips increase/decrease in size because of the different molarities of sucrose solution, due to the process of osmosis. I will be investigating three samples of potato chips in the molarities of sucrose solution 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0. Method: Apparatus: * Potato * Petry Dishes * Knife * Ruler * Sucrose Solution (different molarities) 1. I will cut 21 potato chips 3cm long and 5-7mm wide, because this will make it a fair test. 2. I will test these in six different solutions; place three chips in each petry dish of which there are 7. 3. Then add molarities of sucrose solution, 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0. 4. Place these in a corner of a room that is at a good temperature for Osmosis (room temperature 37 degrees Celsius). 5. After 48...
