  • When the potato is peeled and the inner section of it is taken out with the help of a spoon or knife, it becomes U-shaped.
  • It is then placed in a tray having a pure solvent.
  • The cavity of the U-shaped potato osmoscope is filled with a 10% solution.
  • A pin is marked at the initial level of the 10% solution in the potato osmoscope. This pin is labelled as an initial pin. 
  • After 2 hours, the level of the solution in the potato osmoscope will rise. This is endosmosis occurring due to the difference in the concentration of the solution.
  • Hence, osmoscope is a device that describes the process of osmosis.

 

- The peel of the potato is impermeable. Osmoscope is prepared by peeling the potato. Hence, the correct answer is option b.
