What else can I help you with?
What will happen to a raw potato in water with salt?
you have to slice it first then it will shrink
What if you put a whole apple with holes in salt?
the slice you put in the salt will become watery because the salt has sodium in it. the sodium will pull the juice out of the apple
What is the effect on salt on mass of a potato?
A potato will decrease in mass if salt (sodium chloride) is applied to it. The salt will absorb water which is contained in the potato.
Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
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.
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 does happen when you put salt on a boiled potato and then put it to glass of water?
i swear you be on that 5 in the morning but im workin
What will happen to a potato put in salt water?
In the salt solution the concentration of water inside the cells of the potato is higher than that outside. Therefore water molecules move from inside the potato where there is higher concentration of water molecules to outside the potato where there is a lower concentration of water molecules through semipermeable membrane of the potato cells. This process is called osmosis.
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.
Why does potatoes get soggy in salt water?
It has to do with hypertonicity between cells. The concentration of water in salt water is lower than the concentration of water inside the potato. So water will move out of the potato and in to the salt water to create equilibrium, causing the potato to shrink.
Why put potato in salt water?
Potatoes are often soaked in salt water to remove excess starch from the surface, which can help them achieve a crispier texture when fried. Additionally, soaking them in salt water can also enhance their flavor by allowing the salt to penetrate the potato.
What do you think will happen to the potato pieces if increase the amount of salt in each test container?
Increasing the amount of salt in each test container will result in a higher concentration of salt in the surrounding solution. This will cause water to move out of the potato pieces via osmosis, leading to a decrease in their size and weight as they lose water and shrink.
Would a potato get heavier if you place it in salt water?
No a potato will not get heavier if placed in salt water, and does it really matter if it does? Do not ask stupid questions. Keep it simple.
