Materials:
Electric Scale
Two beaker
Petri dishes
1 Potato,
Water
salt solution ( make salt solution by 2 teaspoon of salt into 100 ml of water)
Method:
(1) Cut 2 strips of potatoes of equal length (5 cm x 1cm x 1cm)
(2) Place 100 ml of tap water in one beaker and place 100 ml of salt solution in another beaker .
(3) Weigh and record the initial mass of each potato strip in lab notebook using the table below.
(4) Place Potato 1 in the tap water and Potato 2 in the salt solution.
(5) Reweigh the potato after 30 minutes and record the mass in the table you have drawn.
(6) Calculate the weight change of each potato below by using this formula:
Weight change= Initial mass - Final Mass
