what is the texture and appearance of the potato strips after being immersed in various concentration of sucrose solution​
Alexxx [7]

This process is a technique of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles. For example,  water along its concentration gradient, from high to low concentration, via a semi-permeable membrane is changing the structure of the molecules in the potato strips.  

Since the environment of the potato strips are in a sugar concentrate, the potato will lose its water content and so loses weight and the strips will be thinner and dryer.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The two factors are:

• The kind/type of surface involved.

• The force that the surface are being pushed together.

Friction can be said to be the general term used to describe the force that one surface exert on another when they rub against each other.

When the surface is partially not smooth or totally rough, a greater force is been needed to move one surface past the other.

The weight of the can also significantly be a key factor. This is where the need to friction reduction come to play a role; and need for friction reducers like lubricant, rollers etc helps.
