the potato slice sucks in some of the water. that how it gets soggy
The potato will obsorb or release water, or endocytosis and exocytosis. :)
The potato chip would just dissolve after a while in the water. It would be soggy if it was pulled out before it dissolves.
it will mold
In cold water, the potato just gets wet.
It floats and grows.
osmotic pressure will occor inside.
it grows an apple tree
~When you put salt in potato and then put it in the water cup, there is low water concentration in potato and more concentration in the cup of water. Due to this concentration gradient water moves from the cup into the potato by osmosis.
This process is called osmosis. I.e the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. When dipped in water the water moves into the potato. Such a solution is called a hypotonic soln in which potato becomes swollen.
you have to slice it first then it will shrink
A patato cube is placed in a beaker filled with hot salt water and another patato cube is placed in a beaker filled with cold salt water?
It freezes
When a potato slice/piece is placed in pure water, it gains mass and appears to be blown up. This is because the water is travelling into the potato because it has a lower concentration of water inside it.
It gets softer.
The molecules would move down towards the centre of the earth until stopped by something.
sprouts will grow from the potato tubule and grow more potatoes..... weird huh?

no.it contains starch...

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.

No a potato will not get heavier if placed in salt water, and does it really matter if it does? Do not ask stupid questions. Keep it simple.
Mold... Mold happens...
