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 two such solutions are divided by a semi-permeable membrane the water molecules will move from the area...
