Analyzing the Outcome

cairohuaman0 — 2024-10-26 19:57:49 UTC

The results showcased the process of osmosis. The potato strip in the pure water seemed to have absorbed water molecules, leading to its swelling. In contrast, the strip in the salt solution appears to have lost water molecules to its surrounding, thus explaining its shriveled look.

Initial Measurements

Potato Strip in Pure Water: Initial weight - 15.2 grams

Potato Strip in 10% Salt Solution: Initial weight - 15.4 grams

Final Measurements

Potato Strip in Pure Water: Final weight after 1 hour - 17.5 grams (gain of 2.3 grams)=

Potato Strip in 10% Salt Solution: Final weight after 1 hour - 13.8 grams (loss of 1.6 grams)

Observational Data

cairohuaman0 — 2024-10-26 19:58:55 UTC

Distinct changes were observed in the potato strips. The one immersed in pure water exhibited growth in weight and length, while the strip in the 10% salt solution displayed a decrease in weight accompanied by a slightly shriveled appearance.
