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.
