the potato slice with decrease in mass, as the free water molecules during osmosis will leave the potato paasing through the semi permeable membrane. This happens because there is more free water molecules on the outsite of the potato, forcing more net movement towards the outside of the potato
What else can I help you with?
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 a cell plant is placed in salt. In a potato I made a hole and I put salt on it . In other hand I put this in a cup with water. What will happens in relation a Diffussio aND oSmos?
~When you put salt in potato and then put it in the water cup, there is low water concentration in potato and more concentration in the cup of water. Due to this concentration gradient water moves from the cup into the potato by osmosis.
How does length and width of a potato affect osmosis and also how does the mass of the potato affect osmosis?
If a potato has a larger surface are:volume ratio, it will be affected by osmosis more quickly that a potato with a smaller surface are:volume ratio. Presumably a potato with a larger mass will have a smaller SA:Vol ratio, and as such will be less affected.
Will changing sucrose concentrations change the mass of the potato?
Yes, through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a cellular membrane. Water flows from high concentrations to low concentrations. The mass of the potato will change based on the molarity of the solution it is placed in. CHEMISTRY REFRESHER: molarity is the amount of moles of a substance per liter(of water). If the potato is placed in a solution with a lesser molarity than itself(the solution has less glucose than the potato) then we would expect for the potato to gain water. This is because there is a greater concentration of water outside of the cell wall, so water enters the cell in order to obtain equilibrium. Using the same reasoning we would expect for the potato to lose water if it is placed in a solution of higher molarity
Why did water diffuse out of a potato in a test tube of Na Cl?
Water diffused out of the potato because of the high concentration of salt (NaCl) in the surrounding solution. This created a hypertonic environment, causing water to move out of the potato cells through osmosis in an attempt to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cells.

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.
Why will be change in the potato cube in concentrated sugar solution and distilled water respectively after an hour?
In the concentrated sugar solution, water will move out of the potato cube, causing it to shrink due to osmosis. In distilled water, water will move into the potato cube, causing it to swell due to osmosis.

in osmosis What happen in potato A and in potato B?
In osmosis, water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In potato A, if placed in a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration), water will move out of the potato causing it to shrink (plasmolysis). In potato B, if placed in a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration), water will move into the potato causing it to swell (turgor pressure).
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.
Why do potato's shrink when you put them in water mixed with sugar?
The water in the cells diffuse out into solution via simple osmosis
What will happen to the potato when place is a concentrated sugar solution?
When a potato is placed in a concentrated sugar solution, water will move out of the potato cells via osmosis, resulting in the potato shrinking and becoming soft and limp. This is because the sugar solution has a higher solute concentration than the potato cells, causing water to move from an area of higher water concentration (inside the potato) to an area of lower water concentration (the sugar solution).
What are effect of osmosis on potato strips?
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.
Can peeled boiled potato go through osmosis?
yes peeled potato go through osmosis.
How does length and width of a potato affect osmosis and also how does the mass of the potato affect osmosis?
