Problem:
In the following experiment I am going to try and determine- "Why does raw turnip taste sweeter than raw potato." I will find this out using osmosis.
Background Knowledge:
We already know that the average concentration of dissolved sugar in turnip is 0.62M. We found this from a previous class investigation. Using Osmosis, which we were taught last year in school, we can find out if potato contains less sugar than turnip, therefore explaining

Another key area of improvement, if we were to repeat the experiment, would be to try and remove the inaccuracies of weighing the potato. We couldn't be totally accurate in weighing the potato as there was excess water, which could have affected its proper mass, when taking it out of the solution. Next time it may be more appropriate to dry off any excess water before weighing.
