Introduction and method of experiment on: Investigating the effects of changing salt concentration on osmosis in potato tissue

Investigating the effect of changing salt concentration on osmosis in potato tissue Introduction I am going to investigate the effects on the weight of a 5 x 30mm King Edward potato chip when osmosis has occurred. Osmosis is the transfer of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. To do this I am going to put the chips in different salt concentrations, and compare the weight …

…correct salt solution in the test tubes 6.<Tab/>Place all the chips in at the same time, and start the stop-clock 7.<Tab/>After the 20 Minutes, I will take out all the chips roughly at the same time, and dry off the excess water with a paper towel 8.<Tab/>Weigh the chips after to see if your experiment has worked, and record your results.
