step 1: peel potato skin ; why do we peel potato skin?
as it affects
osmosis
step 2: use a cork borer to make 3 cylinders of potato slices. why do we use a cork borer?
to ensure the cylinders have an
equal diameter
step 4: use
scalpel
to trim cylinders to
3cm.
step 5: measure length of cylinder using a
ruler
and measure the
mass
using a balance
place each cylinder into a test tube:
in the first test tube, add
10cm3
of
0.5
molar sugar solution.
in the second test tube, add
10cm3
of
0.25
molar sugar solution.
in the last test tube, add
10
cm3 of
distilled water.
why do we use distilled water and not normal tap water?
there is no
dissolved
substances
leave cylinders
overnight
to let
osmosis
occur.
step 7: remove cylinders onto paper towel gently - do not
press down.
why do we remove cylinders onto paper towels and not press down?
to
remove surface water
not the
water
within the cylinder.
step 8; measure length of cylinder and mass of cylinder again. How do we know if osmosis has occurred?
if the mass of the potato slices
increases.
what is the dependent variable?
chip mass
what is the independent variable?
concentration
of
sugar
solution
how do we calculate percentage change?
change in value
/
change in mass x100.
