Impact of Salt Concentration on Osmosis in Potato Slices

A study was conducted to investigate how different concentrations of salt in water impact the rate of osmosis in potato slices. The researchers prepared three different salt solutions: low concentration (0.5%), medium concentration (1.0%), and high concentration (1.5%). They then submerged equal-sized potato slices in each solution for two hours and measured the mass change of the potato slices before and after the experiment. The researchers aimed to determine how varying salt concentrations affect the rate of osmosis in potato cells.
