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.
What else can I help you with?

Will osmosis take place if potato is not peeled?
Yes, osmosis can still occur if the potato is not peeled. The cell membrane of the potato cells will still allow water molecules to move in and out of the cells, resulting in changes in the concentration of solutes inside the cells.

An experiment to test whether a potato would float or sink would be to take multiple potatoes, and dunk them in whatever liquid you are trying to test.

How does osmosis experimemt take place with potato?
This is just an experiment I made up and I have no proof it will work, but I think I have an idea. 1. Prepare a dish and weigh it. 2. Take a potato and cut a section of about 5mm (Not skin) thick off. Place onto dish 2. Precisely measure the mass of the potato and dish using scales. 3. Record results. 4. Leave the dish in a dry place for two weeks and the flip the potato over, and wait another two weeks. 5. Measure the new mass. 6. The initial mass minus the new mass is the amount of water lost. 7. To find the percentage of water, Take the amount of water lost and dived it by the initial weight minus the weight of the dish. As I said, I just thought of this and have no proof it will work. If anyone else has a better idea, please share.

By definition what is the only substance that carries out osmosis?
The definition of osmosis does not restrict this phenomenon to any single substance. I don't know where you would get that idea. In practice, most of the situations involving osmosis, that are of interest to us, take place in an aqueous medium. But osmosis can occur in other media.
What would happen if osmosis didn't take place in the human body?
If osmosis didn't take place in the human body, cells wouldn't be able to regulate their water balance, leading to dehydration or overhydration. This could disrupt cellular functions and ultimately result in organ failure. Osmosis is essential for maintaining proper hydration levels and overall cell health in the body.
