An Investigation into Osmosis Aim: My aim in this experiment is to find out how osmosis affects potato chips' mass when placed in different concentrations of glucose and water. Prediction: I will now predict how I think the outcome of the experiment will be. I believe that some of the potatoes will shrink and lose weight, some will swell and gain weight and some will stay the same. I think that when there is a high concentration of glucose, osmosis will occur through the potato and it will shrink as water molecules escape into the solution. When there is a very low concentration of glucose I believe the potato will swell as it gains water molecules due to osmosis trying to equal out the balance of water. I find it unlikely that any of the potatoes will stay exactly the same weight but some that are in the middle concentrations like 0.4 and...
