Usually the the percentage of water in a fried potato chip is 1.5 to 2.5%
First weigh the potato (in grams). Next, place the potato in a tub of water, and measure how much the volume of the water changes upon placing the potato in. This gives you the volume of the potato (in mls). Then divide the mass (g) by the volume (ml) to get the density in g/ml.
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.
It says in your "how to make yeast" you soak potato skins in water over night. How many potato skins and how much water for one loaf of bread?
A potato plant needs about 1 to 2 inches of water per week to thrive and grow effectively.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. When a potato slice is saturated with water, it means that the cells in the potato have absorbed as much water as they can hold. In this state, osmosis will not have a significant effect on the potato slice because there is no concentration gradient for water to move across the membrane.
You can try boiling it.
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
A potato in salt water is hypotonic. This is because the salt water has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the potato cells, causing water to move out of the potato cells, leading to the cell shrinking.
Energy of flame------->Utensil------->Water-------->Potato
During the potato osmosis experiment, the water molecules move from the area of higher concentration (outside the potato cells) to the area of lower concentration (inside the potato cells). This movement of water causes the potato to absorb water and become damp.

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
