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 does osmosis experiment take place with potato?
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 do you make yeast from potatoes?
It says in your "how to make yeast" you soak potato skins in water over night. How many potato skins and how much water for one loaf of bread?
How would you cook a potato without it losing too much water?
You can try boiling it.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
What is the direction of water movement in a cylinder of potato tissue in distilled water?
What is the direction of water movement in a potato
A Potato Is Cooking In Boiling Water. How Does The Energy Get From The Gas Flame Or Hot Plate Into The Potato?
Energy of flame------->Utensil------->Water-------->Potato
Why put potato in salt water?
First there is no such thing as a "potatoe", it is spelt "potato". Cooking in salted water enhances the flavour of the cooked potato.
What percentage of a potato is water?
Usually the the percentage of water in a fried potato chip is 1.5 to 2.5%
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
Why is it that when you put a potato in a high concentration of sucrose solution does its weight decrease?
This is because the potato, which is mostly water, is in a hypertonic solution (a solution with less water and more solute --here, sucrose-- than the potato). Since the solutions want to reach equilibrium (equal amounts of sucrose and water in both the solution and the potato), water diffuses out of the potato and sucrose diffuses into it. The potato loses its water weight, and sucrose doesn't replace the weight lost, the potato weighs less.
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.
