Osmosis BY Gladmoe Chinyuke 11.6 Set A3 Aim: My aim for this experiment is to see the results of a potato tissue's mass difference, when placed in different concentrations of sugar solutions. Scientific Theory of Osmosis: Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. In a high concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sugar) is low. This could be called a weak or dilute solution. In a low concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sucrose) is high. This could be called a strong or concentrated solution. When two such solutions are divided by a partially permeable membrane the water will move from the area of high concentration to the area of low concentration, until both sides are equal (have reached equilibrium). Knowing that osmosis will occur across a partially...
