i) predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of potato ... please help me I'll give you 20 points or brainliest, as you like!!!

1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride solution

Explanation:

The liquid that would cause the largest decrease in the mass of the potato stick would be the one with  1 mole per dm3 sodium chloride solution.

The water potential of a solution depends on the molarity of the solution, the higher the molarity, the lower the water potential and vice versa. Hence, a solution with higher molarity has the tendency to osmotically draw more water from the potato stick than a solution with lower molarity.

Therefore, the potato stick will have the largest decrease in mass in 1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride when compared to the 0.5 and 0.1 mole per dm3 solutions.

vodka and hennesy

explanation:

the sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including dna and rna. this backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.
