Experimental Aim To investigate how the strength of a sugar solution affects the Osmosis in potato chips. Prediction My prediction is that when a potato chip is in weak sugar solution; it will gain mass and length. My reason for this is because there is more H2O (water) outside the cells therefore it moves into the cells. This procedure is called Osmosis (see appendix). Also that when a potato chip is in strong sugar solution, it will decrease in mass and length. My reason for this is because there is the same H2O outside the cells, but it cannot move into the cells. Variables which I shall change For the experiment, I shall change the mass of sugar solution in the potato chips and the amount of pure water to be used. Variables I shall keep the same For the experiment, I shall keep the size of the potato chips (5cm) the same length, and the amount...
