potatoes and has placed them in different concentrations of sugar solution, as shown in the
diagram below. (pg59 Q6)
She measured the mass of the cylinders of potatoes before and after they had been placed in
different concentrations of sugar solutions for 20 minutes. Her results are shown below:-

(i) Fill in the missing numbers in the results table above.

(ii) Draw a graph of the concentration of sugar solution against the average change in mass on
the grid below:-
(iii) Use the graph to estimate the concentration of sugar inside the original potatoes. Explain
your answer.

(iv) Suggest why Jenny repeated the experiment and took the average of the results.
