As the concentration of salt increases, the mass of the potato will decrease.
This is because the potato is less concentrated than the salt solution, hence
water will pass through the selectively permeable membrane into the much-
concentrated solution. However, when there is no salt concentration, the
mass of the potato will increase. This is because the water has a weaker
concentration than the potato and thus will pass the selectively permeable
membrane through osmosis.

Qualitative Data
Only used a potato Could hinder the results Could investigate the
that would arise from effect of varying salt
other vegetables and solution concentration
fruits on the mass of other
fruits and vegetables
such as apples.
