Remember that the strip of potato is made of thousands of cells. When there is more salt outside the cells, water will leave. The strip will 'wilt' as the cell loses water and begins to shrivel up.

What happens to the salt solution after evaporation?
the crystallized salt is left behind
What happens when you add silver nitrate to distilled water and to salt solution?
Silver nitrate will dissolve in distilled water. When added to a salt solution silver chloride will fall out of solution.
What happens when you evaporate an aqueous iodine solution?
It will leave a solid salt, consisting of the ions.
What happens when you add sodium chloride to water?
sodium chloride (or salt) solution is formed
What happens when you put silver nitrate into a salt solution?
If the salt solution contains chloride ion (eg. from table salt, NaCl) then silver chloride will precipitate. Both sodium and nitrate ions stay unchanged in solution. Ag+aq + Cl-aq --> AgCls
What happens to potato strip in dilute water?
This depends on the concentration of the salt solution. If the water potential of the salt solution is greater (less concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move into the potato cells, increasing the size of the potato strip. If the water potential of the salt solution is lower (more concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move out of the potato cells in the salt solution, decreasing the size of the potato strip.
What are effect of osmosis on potato strips?
This depends on the concentration of the salt solution. If the water potential of the salt solution is greater (less concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move into the potato cells, increasing the size of the potato strip. If the water potential of the salt solution is lower (more concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move out of the potato cells in the salt solution, decreasing the size of the potato strip.
Analysis in potato in a salt solution?
first place a potato which is carved slightly inwards in the salt solution. it adsorbs the solution slowly and the level of the solution decreases.now place the pin at the potato
What happen to a raw potato kept in salt water?
If it was placed in a salty solution the potato strip would shrink because the outer solution has a high salt concentration so the water in the potato strip would get out through osmosis and would try to balance the solution
What happens if you put potato in to a cup of distilled water and salt solution?
God will strike the potato core into oblivion and send it to hell.
What happens when carrot is boiled and then placed in concentrated salt solution?
the cells are dead so the potato whould not perform any movement
Will a potato lose weight if it is peeled and soaked in a salt water solution for a day?
Because of osmosis the water in the potato will move into the hypertonic solution causing the potato to lose weight.
What happens when you mix water wth salt?
You get a salt solution.
Which salt solution is more likely to be isotonic to the intracellular fluids of a potato?
.5%
What happens to the salt solution after evaporation?
the crystallized salt is left behind
What physically happens in a supersaturated solution of salt in water?
Salt will crystalize out.
What happens when salt solution reacts with another salt solution?
I have tried that experiment before. The salt just sits on top of the water.
