Osmosis Investigation
Introduction & Aims
At present I am investigating Osmosis, and I have devised a experiment to investigate the rate of it. I have been provided with potatoes, and all the common laboratory equipment.
I will look at 2 variables, one discontinuous, one continuous.
For my discontinuous veritable I have chosen TYPE OF POTATO.
I will have 3 different types of potato, chosen randomly, and numbered A, B & C.
For my continuous veritable I have chosen TIME.
Every 5 minutes, I will record the mass of the potato chip, along with the length.
I hope to be able to carry out this investigation, and produce some accurate results, to conclude my investigation.
My Hypothesis
I think that the rate of osmosis in each of the types of potatoes will be virtually the same. As some potatoes have a different texture, the results will not be exactly the same. I think the colour of the potato chip may have an influence on the rate of osmosis. From past experiments I think the......
