Introduction In this coursework I am going to investigate the factor how different concentrations of sugar solutions will affect the rate of osmosis on a potato cylinder, which will be no shorter than 5cm. When obtaining my results I will record the mass of the chip (cylinder) before I put it into the solution and the mass after the chip has been placed into the solution for a certain amount of time of 2 hours. I also plan to obtain 3 sets of to conclude an average from the results to put into a graph I am also going to apply this to the length of the potato chip. I will also take three readings for reliable and errorless results, and I will calculate the required averages to use in my graphed results in the analysis. The potato tissues, being surrounded by a weak solution, will be most likely to swell...
