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.
How could you find the density of a potato?
first, you weigh it to get its mass. then you acquire its volume, since it has an irregular shape, you apply water displacement method. get a calibrated cylinder, note the initial water level and gently drop the potato in. measure the resulting water level and subtract it with the initial water level. this is your volume. density= mass/volume simply divide what you measured in grams with the volume of the potato (cm3). unit of density is grams per cubic centimeter or g/cm3
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
Which piece of equipment is the best foe measuring the change in the mass of potato slices after placing them in different concentrations of salt water?
A digital balance is the best equipment for measuring the change in mass of potato slices after placing them in different concentrations of salt water. It provides accurate measurements of mass before and after the experiment.
How much matter does a potato chip contain?
That is impossible to know. Each potato chip is formed differently, and as such its density is different, along with it's volume being different. These discrepancies make it impossible to establish a uniform mass.
Which has more mass a potato or potato chip Explain?
If you have a poato with a given mass and turn it into potato chips it will weigh less as water has been driven off in the cooking process. As weight and mass are proportional at any given location it has less mass in its cooked form.
What has more mass a potato or potato chip?
Since you can make many potato chips out of one potato, obviously a whole potato has more mass than one potato chip.
What has more mass a potato or a potato chip?
Since you can make many potato chips out of one potato, obviously a whole potato has more mass than one potato chip.
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.
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.
Did boiling potato loses mass?
yes
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.
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.
What is the relationship of heat and mass of matter?

What is the density of botato?
Potato? Density is volume/mass. Work it out yourself.
How do you find the density of a potato?
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.
