A science investigation about Osmosis in potato chips. Imad Uddin 11H / 11-1 AIM My aim is to investigate what effect differing concentrations of sucrose solutions have on Osmosis in raw potato chips. This investigation is to determine how the mass of a raw potato chip is affected, by being immersed in different concentrations of a sucrose in water solution, due to the process of Osmosis. Prediction Osmosis is defined as `the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane' (Collins, 1999) My prediction is that in a high concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sucrose) 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. I predict that when...
