To determine how much water a potato loses in three days, you would need to consider factors like its initial weight, environmental conditions (like humidity and temperature), and whether it was stored in a sealed container or exposed to air. On average, a potato can lose around 1-2% of its weight in water per day under normal conditions. Therefore, over three days, it might lose approximately 3-6% of its initial weight in water. For a specific measurement, you would need to weigh the potato before and after the three days.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Do you begin to lose weight after three days of starvation?
Yes but it is water not fat.
To lose 8 pounds in two-three days for a football weigh in?
drink water all day
If you put sugar in a peeled potato what will happen?
Osmosis will happen. The water will move from the potato into the sugar solution. The potato will lose mass and shrink.
When a peeled potato is placed in distilled water it will .......as a result of osmosis. if some salt is added to the potato will?
When a peeled potato is placed in distilled water, it will swell as a result of osmosis, as water moves into the potato cells where the solute concentration is higher. If some salt is added to the potato, it will cause the potato to lose water, leading to shrinkage, as the salt creates a higher solute concentration outside the potato cells, drawing water out.
When strip of potato was placed in water did it shrink?
When a strip of potato is placed in water, it typically does not shrink; instead, it may swell. This is due to osmosis, where water moves into the potato cells, causing them to become turgid. If the potato strip is placed in a hypertonic solution (like salt water), it would lose water and shrink.
Do potato cubes gain or lose mass in salt water solutions?
depends on the salt content of the potato and how concentrated the salt is. the more salt there is in the water than the potato- the more water will exit the potato which then loses mass.
What happened to the level of the tap water inside the hollow potato?
The level of the tap water inside the hollow potato would decrease over time due to osmosis. Water from the potato's cells moves into the surrounding tap water, which has a lower concentration of solutes, causing the potato to lose water and the water level in the hollow section to drop. This process continues until equilibrium is reached or until the potato is no longer able to release water.
Why is the potato floppy when put in salt water?
When a potato is placed in salt water, it becomes floppy due to osmosis. The high concentration of salt outside the potato causes water to move out of the potato cells to balance the concentration gradient. As water leaves the cells, they lose turgor pressure, leading to a softer and floppier texture. This process can result in the potato becoming limp and less firm.
What three ways do animals lose water?
Animals lose water when they urinate, perspire, and exhale.
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.
Can you lose two teeth in three days?
Yes u can
