... free water particles in the higher volume of solution, even if the sucrose concentration is higher. Surface area of potato chip The same diameter of cork boerer will be used each time. If the surface area is different then there will be a bigger area for the water molecules to diffuse through on some potato chips. Starting mass of potato chip This will be 1.15g +- 0.02g. The mass will be measured to 2 d.p. for a greater degree of accuracy. If some pieces of potato weigh more (and are therefore bigger) then there will be a greater water potential gradient - this would affect the results of the experiment and it would not be a fair test. This is how the experiment will be carried out: *ALWAYS BORE THE POTATO ONTO A WHITE TILE* 1) Measure 30cm of each sucrose concentration (in this case 0m, 0.1m, 0.2m, 0.3m 0.4m and 0.5m). Place each different one in a ...
