1. The following table shows six thin strips, each 100mm long, which were cut from a potato tuber
and left in different sugar solutions for 2 hours. Use the information to construct a line graph to
show the relationship between the changes in length of the strips and the concentrations of the
sugar solutions. [6]

Concentration Original length End length Change in

(mol/dm3) (mm) (mm) length (mm)
0.1 100 105 +5
0.2 100 104 +4
0.4 100 102 +2
0.5 100 99 -1
0.7 100 96 -4
0.9 100 96 -4
