Prediction I predict that the higher the concentration of salt, the lower the mass the potato cylinder will become. This is because there is a greater concentration of water molecules inside the potato cylinder, so the water will drain from the cylinder by osmosis, to where there was a lower concentration of water molecules, so therefore the mass of the cylinder would decrease. If there was a low concentration of salt in the solution, the cylinder would increase in mass. This is because there is a higher concentration of water molecules in the potato cylinder than in the solution....
not a big change in the mass of the potato. The graph showed me that my line of best fit was almost like straight diagonal line with a positive gradient. I did have one odd result which I could have improved if I had repeated the test. My table showed that the higher the concentration of salt, the lower the mass of the cylinder will be. This is because if there is a high concentration of salt the water in the cylinder will diffuse through the semi-permeable wall of the potato cell where there are less molecules of water.
