A student investigated the effect of a high-concentration sucrose solution on the water potential of potato tissue.

For one potato cylinder:

  • the starting mass was 6.40 g6.40\text{ g}6.40 g
  • the end mass was 5.92 g5.92\text{ g}5.92 g

Calculate the percentage decrease in mass of the potato cylinder.

Use the equation: percentage decrease in mass=decrease in massstarting mass×100\text{percentage decrease in mass} = \frac{\text{decrease in mass}}{\text{starting mass}} \times 100percentage decrease in mass=starting massdecrease in mass​×100
