1. Investigating the effect of sugar solutions on potato chips
... . In a low concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sucrose) is high. This could be called a strong or concentrated solution. When two such solutions are divided by a semi-permeable membrane the water will move from the area of high concentration to the area of low concentration, until both sides are equal (have reached equilibrium). Weak solution partially ... with my prediction, the cylinders will expand when external solute concentration is low (high water concentration), and contract in strong solutions (low water concentration). This is due to osmosis, where water passes fro...
