Beacause when you put the slice of potato in water osmosis takes place since concentration of water is lower then the concentration of the potato and water moves from ow concentration to high concentration so the water will move into the potato and the potato will become ridgid,
But if you put salty water the salty water has a higher concentration then the potato so water will move out of the potato and the potato becomes soft.

How does osmosis experimemt take place with potato?
This is just an experiment I made up and I have no proof it will work, but I think I have an idea. 1. Prepare a dish and weigh it. 2. Take a potato and cut a section of about 5mm (Not skin) thick off. Place onto dish 2. Precisely measure the mass of the potato and dish using scales. 3. Record results. 4. Leave the dish in a dry place for two weeks and the flip the potato over, and wait another two weeks. 5. Measure the new mass. 6. The initial mass minus the new mass is the amount of water lost. 7. To find the percentage of water, Take the amount of water lost and dived it by the initial weight minus the weight of the dish. As I said, I just thought of this and have no proof it will work. If anyone else has a better idea, please share.
