You need to calculate the percentage change for each potato chip.
The formula is:
Change in mass
Percentage change =
___________
X 100
start mass
Once you have worked out the average for each chip your teacher will
give you more data to help you work out a class average for each sucrose

Graph.
Once you have worked out your class average you need to plot a graph.
Conclusion.
Write a conclusion about your results. Include information about where
you think the potato and sucrose solution are in equilibrium.
