A student placed equal-sized potato cubes in two different beakers containing either distilled (pure) water or a concentrated sugar solution. The experiment is shown in Figure 2.

Explain

what would happen to the mass of the potato cube after being placed in distilled (pure) water

Please help me

Respuesta :

When the potato is put into the distilled water, it will absorb the water. The water is trying to dilute the salt inside the potato.

What is the meaning of concentrated?

The concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute that has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution.

When the potato is put into the distilled water, it will absorb the water. The water is trying to dilute the salt inside the potato.

Since potatoes already contain sugar, less water will diffuse out of the potato placed in sugar water. The slice placed in water will be rigid since it will absorb water.
