Does the amount of sugar in a Solution vary the size of potatoes? Aim of the Experiment To find out whether increasing sucrose in sugar solutions have effect on osmosis in potato chips. Fair Testing The experiment was set up to be as fair as possible. Then the potato chips were cut into 18 Chips using a borer and then cut to a length of exactly 1.5cm (15mm) each with a scalpel. Then three were weighed at one time on a top pan balance to find an average mass, this was done because it did not involve confusion over which potato cylinder was which after the experiment. Once these averages were found and recorded the potato chips were placed into their test tube solutions of 0.0M(distilled water), 0.2M, 0.4M, 0.6M, 0.8M and 1.0M solutions of sucrose. Then the contents, each containing three potato cylinders were left for 4 days. When the time was over I removed the potato with a pair tweezers and placed them on a paper towel to try and dry of any excess water. Then I weighed the potato again together in their threes on a top pan balance and found the average mass. Safety Precautions No matter how harmless the experiment, safety is always a very important issue. It is always necessary to take the relevant safety precautions.
