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.
As the temperature of the solution increases, the solubility of the salt also increases.
After evaporation, the water in the salt solution evaporates, leaving behind the salt that was dissolved in it. This process is known as salt crystallization, where the salt forms crystals as the water evaporates.
Salt does not boil away at approx. 100 Celsius. The water evaporates causing the concentration of salt to increase.
If the salt solution contains chloride ion (eg. from table salt, NaCl) then silver chloride will precipitate. Both sodium and nitrate ions stay unchanged in solution. Ag+aq + Cl-aq --> AgCls
No, a salt is a compound. A salt maybe dissolved in water and made into a solution but as salt is not a solution per se.
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.

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.
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
God will strike the potato core into oblivion and send it to hell.
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.
the cells are dead so the potato whould not perform any movement
Because of osmosis the water in the potato will move into the hypertonic solution causing the potato to lose weight.
You get a salt solution.
Salt will crystalize out.
I have tried that experiment before. The salt just sits on top of the water.
As the temperature of the solution increases, the solubility of the salt also increases.
