large potato chips in the same concentration, in two separate test tubes, the larger one would have been able to diffuse out more or taken in more water molecules, depending on the concentration, because it is has a large inner area and surface area than the smaller ship.
We also made sure that we used the same amount of sucrose solution in each test tube, we done this by measuring out the solution using a burette and measuring cylinders. By making sure that we had exactly the same amount of solution in each test tube it made our results a lot more accurate and fairer. If we had used different amounts of solution in the test tubes it would affect the rate of osmosis taking place. For example if we were dealing with the concentration of 0.2M and we poured 20mls in one test tube and only 5mls in the other it would dramatically effect the results. The one with 20mls of solution in would result in the potato chip being much longer than the ship in only 5mls of 0.2M, because there is a......
