First there is no such thing as a "potatoe", it is spelt "potato".

Cooking in salted water enhances the flavour of the cooked potato.

~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.


Why does potatoes get soggy in salt water?

It has to do with hypertonicity between cells. The concentration of water in salt water is lower than the concentration of water inside the potato. So water will move out of the potato and in to the salt water to create equilibrium, causing the potato to shrink.


Can a potato float on salt water?

Yes it can, if you put a lot of salt in the water. You'll see that it works it works for a great science project!


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 is the effect on salt on mass of a potato?

A potato will decrease in mass if salt (sodium chloride) is applied to it. The salt will absorb water which is contained in the potato.


Do potato cubes gain or lose mass in salt water solutions?

depends on the salt content of the potato and how concentrated the salt is. the more salt there is in the water than the potato- the more water will exit the potato which then loses mass.

What will happen to a potato put in salt water?

In the salt solution the concentration of water inside the cells of the potato is higher than that outside. Therefore water molecules move from inside the potato where there is higher concentration of water molecules to outside the potato where there is a lower concentration of water molecules through semipermeable membrane of the potato cells. This process is called osmosis.


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.
