molarity and the mass of the potato; additionally, there is a strong correlation, as shown by the coefficient of determination (r2) of 0.965 in figure 4. For further evidence, the potato cubes that were soaked in the high molarity solution (0.5M and 0.4M) were much smaller and harder than prior to soaking, so the mass most likely decreased if the potato’s size also decreased. Comparatively, when the potato cubes were soaked in a low molarity solution (0.0M, 0.1M), the potato should become much…
