Aim to find out if osmosis occurs in a potato, and how it affects the potato in different molar solutions of sucrose and water. Planning Apparatus 6 boiling tubes Sucrose solution Balance ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ 2dp for more accurate results Distilled water Razor blade Filter paper A potato Cork borer Method I labelled 6 boiling tubes as follows 1 ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ Distilled water 2 ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ 0.1 molar, sucrose solution 3 ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ 0.2 molar, sucrose solution 4 ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ 0.3 molar, sucrose solution 5 ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ 0.4 molar,...
of potato discs onto each of my labelled boiling tubes.

After 24 hours I will remove any excess surplus fluid by using filter paper. I will then record the results of each boiling tube for each different type of potato and compare my results.

I will as before have key factors to control

The size of the potato discs

The concentration of the solution

The temperature

The volume of the solution

The shape of the discs

The age of the potato

And the time the experiment is left for.
