    what the hells a patatoe? First port of call - amend spelling data, work on secondary data when you've mastered the basics.

    Ed- Nope, try again genius : It is spelt " potato ". There are no 'toes' on a potato.

    We carried a similar investigation to yours by producing piece of plastics from starch. Using respective concentrations of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) of 1.0, 2.5 and 4.0 mol.dm-3., we measured the length and the thickness of the piece of plastics made.

    Here are the results recorded. Hope this information helps!

    Concentration of NaOH Mol.dm-3 Length of plastic(cm) The thickness of plastic made(cm)

    1.0 10 1.0

    2.5 11 1.8

    4.0 16 3.0
