Question:

Does Osmosis increase mass?

Author: go kys



Answer:

It can. If you put a potato [for example] in a pure water solution, where the outside has a higher concentration then the insides, water molecules will be drawn into the potato therefore adding the mass onto the cell. It can be seen visually too. The opposite can happen. If the solution has got a lower water concentration then water molecules will go out and therefore will lower the mass.
