In the salt solution the concentration of water inside the cells of the potato is higher than that outside. Therefore water molecules move from inside the potato where there is higher concentration of water molecules to outside the potato where there is a lower concentration of water molecules through semipermeable membrane of the potato cells. This process is called osmosis.

What does happen when you put salt on a boiled potato and then put it to glass of water?
i swear you be on that 5 in the morning but im workin
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
Why does potatoes get soggy in salt water?
It has to do with hypertonicity between cells. The concentration of water in salt water is lower than the concentration of water inside the potato. So water will move out of the potato and in to the salt water to create equilibrium, causing the potato to shrink.
What will happen to a raw potato if it is put in fresh water?
It melts
Why put potato in salt water?
Potatoes are often soaked in salt water to remove excess starch from the surface, which can help them achieve a crispier texture when fried. Additionally, soaking them in salt water can also enhance their flavor by allowing the salt to penetrate the potato.
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.
What happen to bromine when you put it in water?
Bromine is salt mixed with water so when you put it in water its just more water with salt in :)
What happens when a cell plant is placed in salt. In a potato I made a hole and I put salt on it . In other hand I put this in a cup with water. What will happens in relation a Diffussio aND oSmos?
When a plant cell is placed in a high salt solution, it will experience plasmolysis, where water leaves the cell due to the higher concentration of salts outside the cell. In the potato, the water in the cup will move into the potato by osmosis to try to balance the salt concentration. This process demonstrates the principles of diffusion, where molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis, where water moves across a semipermeable membrane to equalize concentration.
If you put a potato in a cup with 1 inch of water for 4 day what will happen?
Due to osmosis water will flow to where there is a higher concentration of solvent and the solvent will flow to where there is less concentration (if it can). So, if you put it in salt water, the water will flow out of the cell because it will dilute the extra solvent (salt) outside the cell. And if you put it in fresh water, water will rush in because there is more solvent in the cell.
Can a potato float on salt water?
Yes, a potato can float on salt water because the salt increases the water's density, making it easier for objects to float. This phenomenon is known as buoyancy.
What if you put a whole apple with holes in salt?
the slice you put in the salt will become watery because the salt has sodium in it. the sodium will pull the juice out of the apple
What will happen to a potato chip if put in water?
It surely enlarges in size and becomes squishy,
