Sucrose Affects The Rate Of Osmosis
Discussion The change in the amount of sucrose in the dialysis bag affected the amount of mass each bag loss or obtains. All the tubes contained different amount of sucrose concentrations. The higher molarity concentrations increased the movement of water to balance out the inside of the tube and the beaker. The greater amount of concentration gradient, in each tube, increased the rate of osmosis. This rate of osmosis is due to the net movement of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Because the tubes had different concentrations, certain tubes gained more mass than others. Solution A had 0.6 molarity which increased the amount of mass by 1.48 grams (15 % change). Solution B had 0 molarity and
