Interpreting osmosis experiment results involves calculating percentage change in mass; above the x-axis indicates higher water concentration in the solution, crossing the x-axis means isotonic, and below means higher water concentration in the potato.
Interpretando os resultados do experimento de osmose: Mudança percentual = (massa final - massa inicial) / massa inicial x 100. Acima do eixo x, a concentração de água é maior na solução. Onde a curva cruza o eixo x, as peças de batata e a solução são isotônicas. Abaixo do eixo x, a concentração de água é maior nas peças de batata, fazendo com que percam água por osmose.

|---|---|
| Back | Percentage change = \( \frac{final mass - initial mass}{initial mass} \) x 100 Above the x-axis is where the water concentration is higher in the solution than in the potatoes. Where the curve crosses the x-axis is where the potato pieces and solution are isotonic (same water concentration). Below the x-axis the water concentration is higher in the potato pieces. This means that they begin to lose water through osmosis. |
