This document contains data from an experiment investigating the effect of molarity on osmosis. Potato and zucchini samples were placed in sucrose solutions of varying molarity, and their change in mass was measured. As molarity increased from 0 to 1M, the percent change in mass of both potatoes and zucchini decreased, with around a 30% decrease observed in 1M solutions. Specifically, zucchini lost 30.89% of its mass in a 0.8M solution and 38.6% in 1M solution. The experiment demonstrates that increasing molarity reduces osmosis as the concentration gradient driving diffusion of water into the vegetable samples decreases.
