My chosen variable is the concentration of sugar in the solution. I predict the higher the concentration of the salt solution (sodium chloride) the more mass the potato chip will lose. This is because of Osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of molecules from a dilute solution (potato chip) to a more concentrated solution (salt solution) regulated by a Semi Permeable Membrane. The salt solution has a low concentration of water, while the potato chip contains a high concentration of water, compared to that of the salt solution. The Osmosis is removing the water from the potato chip so that it can go into the salt solution, because it is trying to create equal sides, but this can never be achieved since the Semi Permeable Membrane will not allow the Sugar molecules to pass through. I predict that the higher the concentration of salt solution, which the potato is placed in,...
