The point of this experiment is to examine the result of altering the concentration of sucrose on the rate of osmosis in cylinders of potatoes.
This would occur by using like sizes and lengths of potato cylinders and applying them into varying concentrations of sucrose (1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 30%) in test tubes then assessing the change in mass of the potato cylinders after. Sustaining all variables unaffected such as the pH, same size, and a constant temperature.
Hypothesis: I predict if there is more water potential in the cylinder the potato’s mass will increase.
Materials
• 1 Cork Borer (0.9 c)
• 1 Scalpel
• 1 White Tile
• 1 Clear Plastic ruler (±0.1 cm)
• 25 test tubes
• 120 ml of distilled water
• 5 Stopwatches (± 0.1s)
• Electric
