Aim 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, and finally the approximate morality of the potato. Apparatus · Stop Clock - to time our experiment · Cutting tile - to cut the potato on · Knife - to cut the potato · Measuring flask - to measure the solutions · Six beakers - to do the experiment in · Distilled water - part of the experiment · Sucrose - part of the experiment · Potatoes - part of the experiment · Tissue paper - to dry the potatoes after the osmosis takes place · Balance - to weigh the potatoes · Cork borer - to cut out potato cylinders Hypothesis Osmosis is the net movement of water particles through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Water particles in a sugar solution...
