A student investigated the effect of different solutions on the mass of sweet potato cylinders. Each cylinder was left in its solution for 45 minutes.
| Solution | Starting mass (g) | Final mass (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Pure water | 1.25 | 1.41 |
| Dilute sucrose solution | 1.25 | 1.29 |
| Concentrated sucrose solution | 1.26 | 1.12 |
Explain the change in mass of the sweet potato cylinder in the concentrated sucrose solution.
