Predict the result of the experiment if Visking tube is filled with distilled water and the beaker with 30 % sucrose solution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(3 marks)

2.

The mass and freshness of potato tissues are influenced by osmosis. When potato strips were placed in the water, the potato strips became turgid and the mass increased. But when the potato strips were placed in concentrated sucrose solution, the strips became soft and the mass decreased.

Based on the above situation, plan an experiment to determine the concentration of sucrose solution which will maintain the mass of potato strips or isotonic to the potato strips. The planning of the experiment must include the following aspects: Problem statement Hypothesis State of variables List of apparatus and materials Technique used Experimental procedure or method Presentation of data and graph Conclusion

Write a report of your investigation.
