... ot;h a borer with a diameter of 6.5mm "h Sucrose solution of varying strengths (ranging from 0M to 1M) "h A burette to measure out the sucrose solution. "h Six jar specimen bottles "h Razor blade "h Callipers (To measure cylinder height.)
Method We take a cylinder of potato from the potato, and cut it into separate cylinder. We then put three measured cylinders into six jar specimen bottles and added 20cm3 of sucrose solution into each jar (jar one was 0M-distilled water ranging to jar six-1M sucrose solution and leave for 23 hours. We assume that this means that the pressure and temperature in each case is the same, as these are factors which could affect osmosis, and we know that the volume, size and surface area of each cylinder is the same, and as they are all from the same potat ...
