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.

What happens when the potato strip is in salt solution?
Remember that the strip of potato is made of thousands of cells. When there is more salt outside the cells, water will leave. The strip will 'wilt' as the cell loses water and begins to shrivel up.
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.
Will the size of an unboiled strip of potato increase when placed in distilled water for 2 hours?
Yes, because the distilled water has higher water potential as compared the the strip potato, so water will enter the potato by osmosis, through a partially permeable membrane, causing it to increase in size (:
What happens when a potato is submerged in a sugar water concentrate?
The potato will shrivel up and release its water into the sugar water environment in order to dilute the surroundings until the concentration of sugar water is the same on the inside of the cell as the outside.And This is called OsmosisDefinition of Osmosis : Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentrated water to a region of water
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.
What happens when you dilute a solution?
this emans to water it down, or add water...
What happen to a raw potato kept in salt water?
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
What happens to a sliced potato placed in plain water?
It gets softer.
What happens when you add salt to a glass of water and half of potato?
- Sodium chloride is dissolved and dissociated in water. - Potato can absorb an amount of sodium chloride.
What happens to your cells when you drink a lot of salt water?
You become dehydrated- water leaves the cells trying to dilute the salt water.
What happens when you mix distilled water with salt and soup?
When you mix distilled water with salt and soup, the result is dilute soup.
What happens to the equilibrium when hcl is dissolved in water?
When Dilute HCL is added to water a more diluted solution of HCl is made.
