Coursework: Osmosis Planning My main aim in this experiment is to find out if osmosis occurs in a potato, and how it affect the potato in different molar solutions of sucrose and water over a 15 minute period. Apparatus * 5 test tubes (x3 trials) - for all of the five different solutions * Beakers/Pipettes - to pour the solutions into the test tubes * Stop Clock - to time our experiment * Cutting tile - to cut the potato on * Knife/safety blade - to cut the potato * 25cm Measuring cylinder - to measure the solutions * Distilled water - part of the experiment * 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 molar solutions of sucrose - part of the experiment * Potatoes - part of the experiment * Paper towels - to dry the potatoes after the osmosis takes place * Electronic scales - to weigh the potatoes * Cork borer...
