first, you weigh it to get its mass. then you acquire its volume, since it has an irregular shape, you apply water displacement method. get a calibrated cylinder, note the initial water level and gently drop the potato in. measure the resulting water level and subtract it with the initial water level. this is your volume.
density= mass/volume
simply divide what you measured in grams with the volume of the potato (cm3).
unit of density is grams per cubic centimeter or g/cm3

You could cut a piece of potato and put iodine on it. There will be a color change.
Can the fomula to find density find the density of styrofoam?
Yes.
Is a balance always used when density is measured?
Density's formula is M/V, or mass divided by volume, so if what you mean is do you always need a balance to find density, no because you could use a scale. If that's what your asking.
What is the potato cells composition?
Trying to find that myself, though I know water is 80%-85% in a potato cell
How do you find the density of a potato?
First weigh the potato (in grams). Next, place the potato in a tub of water, and measure how much the volume of the water changes upon placing the potato in. This gives you the volume of the potato (in mls). Then divide the mass (g) by the volume (ml) to get the density in g/ml.
How do you find the density of air in a potato bag?
You pop the bag open and capture the air
Facts about a density column?
potato
What is the density of botato?
Potato? Density is volume/mass. Work it out yourself.
How do you find the piplup boat?
POTATO! POTATO!! POTATO!!! POTATO!!!!
How could you find the density of water?
density = mass/volume Determine the mass and volume of the water, and then divide the mass by the volume, and that will give you the density.
If you know the density and volume of a substance how could you find its mass?
density is mass divided by /volume so mass is density times volume
Who knew you could bake a potato?
I knew you could bake a potato...
How do you tell if gold is real?
Bite it...well you could find the density of it by this equation density=mass/volume and compare it to the density of gold on the periodic table
Where can one find information on the best potato recipes?
One can find some of the best potato recipes in cookbooks, especially those that cater to either vegetarian or 'pioneer' cooks. One could also contact the Idaho Potato Commission and inquire about recipes.
Why does a pear float and a sweet potato sink?
Because the density of the sweet potato is less than that of the water.
How many volts does a lemon and a potato produce?
a potato because it has more density and oils
