Changing Chips Aim My aim for this investigation was to investigation was to investigate the effect of varying the concentration of a certain salt solution on the amount of activity between the solution and the potato. Results Table of molarity of salt solution: Volume of salt solution required per tube - 10cm³ Volume of salt Solution cm³ Volume of water (cm³) Total Volume (cm³) Molarity of salt Solution M/mol 10 0 10 1.0 8 2 10 0.8 6 4 10 0.6 4 6 10 0.4 2 8 10 0.2 0 10 10 0.0 The table below are my original results: Mass of potato after 1 hour immersion in salt solution (g) Molartiy of solution M/Mol Volume of salt solution (cm³) Mass of potato before immersion Run 1 Mass (g) Run 2 Mass (g) 1.0 10 1.00 0.78 0.78 0.8 10 1.00 0.80 0.81 0.6 10 1.00 0.83 0.81 0.4 10 1.00 0.89 0.87 0.2 10 1.00 0.98 0.97 0.0 10 1.00 1.10 1.12 I have now average my results: Mass of potato in salt solution Molarity of solution M/Mol Run 1 Mass (g) Run 2 Mass (g) Run 1 Mass (g) Run 2 Mass (g) 1.0 0.78 0.78 0.78 -0.22 0.8 0.80 0.81 0.81 -0.19 0.6 0.83 0.81 0.82 -0.18 0.4 0.89 0.87 0.88 -0.12 0.2 0.98 0.97 0.98 -0.02 0.0 1.10 1.12 1.11 +0.11 1 Prediction I predicted that as the concentration increased, the weigh of the potato will decrease. My reason behind this, is that the higher the concentration of the solution, the lower the concentration of the...
