QUESTION 6
Based on the results of your lab experiments what could you say about the concentration of an unknown sucrose solution that causes your potato slice
to lose 289% in mass?
O The unknown sucrose solution is strongly hypertonic
O The unknown sucrose solution is weakly hypertonic.
OThe unknown sucrose solution is isotonic
O The uniknown sucrose solution is hypotonic.
QUESTION 7
What would be the cause for the loss of mass in the potato slice in this experiment?
O The potato absorbs water from the outside solution.
O The potato loses water to the outside solution
O The potato cells are dispersing into the outside solution.
O The potato is losing starch to the outside solution
QUESTION 8
we wanted to stop the loss of mass for the potato slice from Question 1, which of the following would be appropriate?
D The solution is hypotonic, so we should add sucrose to make it isotonic
O The solution is hypertonic so we should add sucrose to make it isotonic
O The solution is hypotonic, so we should add water to make it isotonic

Expert Solution
Step 1

hypotonic solution means less concentration of solute and more water outside the cell, so water flows in the cell which causes the cell to swell when placed in a hypotonic solution. if the concentration of solute and solvent is the same and there is no net movement of solute or water, it is called an isotonic solution.
