Investigation Into The Factors Affecting Osmosis`PlanningMy aim for this experiment is to see the results of potato tissues mass difference, when placed in different concentrations of sugar solutions. ... The Independent variable (things you change), the thing that I will be changing in this investigation into the factors affecting osmosis, is the concentrations of the solution that helps me to investigate osmosis with potato tissues. The different sugar concentrations will be changed to see the result of the potatoes when placed in sugar solutions placed in different molarities (strengths).Dependent Variable (things that you measure) the things that Ill be measuring in this experiment on osmosis is the mass change and length change of the potatoes placed in different molarities of sugar solutions. ... Hypothesis:Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a weaker solution into a stronger solution, through a partially permeable membrane. In this case, the tiny holes in the membrane of the potatoes will allow the water molecules to pass through in and out of the solution and the potato, depending on the concentration gradient of the two substances. ... Also if there is a higher concentration of water in the potato, then the water will go out of the potato and into the liquid solution, as osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, through a partially permeable membrane. ... Scientific explanation of what would happen:Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane.
