Osmosis Investigation. Aim: Is to investigate the effect of osmosis on potato chips placed in sucrose solution. Key facts: * Concentration of sugar solution. * length of chips. * Volume of solution. * Temperature. * Surface area. Hypothesis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall, which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. The molecules will continue to diffuse until the area in which the molecules are found reaches a state of equilibrium, meaning that the molecules are randomly distributed throughout an object, with no area having a higher or lower concentration than any other. For this particular investigation I think that the lower the concentration of the sugar...
