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 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?

Potato strip soaked in the 10 percent NaCl bendable?

When a potato strip is soaked in a 10 percent NaCl solution, it undergoes osmosis, where water moves out of the potato cells due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cells. This causes the cells to lose water, leading to shrinkage and the potato strip becoming bendable.


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.


Analysis in potato in a salt solution?

When a potato is placed in a salt solution, osmosis occurs. Water molecules move from an area of higher concentration (inside the potato) to an area of lower concentration (the salt solution), causing the potato to lose water and shrink. This demonstrates the process of osmosis, where water moves across a semi-permeable membrane to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides.


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.


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.


As the choose... of the solution increases, what happens to the solubility of the salt?

As the temperature of the solution increases, the solubility of the salt also increases.
