READ: A student cut three identical slices from a potato. She determined the mass
of each slice. She then placed them in labeled beakers and added a different solution
to each beaker. After 30 minutes, she removed each potato slice from its solution,
removed the excess liquid with a paper towel, and determined the mass of each slice.
The change in mass was calculated and the results are shown in the data table
below.

This was due to osmosis which is is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a lower concentration

Beaker one became more concentrated since it had a lower concentration causing it to gain mass

Beaker two and 3 became less concentration sink the salt solution moved out of the potato causing it to have a lower concentration and loose mass due to the loss of solution in the potato
