Question

The students followed the same experimental procedure with boiled potato sticks and found no overall change in mass in any of the solutions. Suggest why the mass of the boiled potato sticks remained the same.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer for the question, " Suggest why the mass of the boiled potato sticks remained the same", is as mentioned below:-

Explanation:

The reasons are that the mass of the boiled potato sticks remain same because

Reason #1: The concentration of sea water increases and simultaneously the removal of water decreases ;

Reason #2: as concentration of sea water increases the water potential of the gradient  decreases ;

therefore less water enters at higher concentrations of sea water ;

less excess water ;
