If the cell has more solvents inside then outside then a (Hypotonic Soulution) will cause a flow of water into the cell. This will cause it to expand or verse. It can be the other way around too :) . Hope This Helped

∙ 11y agoThe mass will increase, and may even burst!
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes, i.e. sugar than the cell. This means there is more water per given area, so the water rushes IN to the cell by osmosis due to the concentration gradient.

How does adding solute to a solution affect the mass of the solution?
It increases the mass.
Is Sprite a hypertonic solution?
I believe that Sprite is actually a hypotonic solution. At first, I believed that it was hypertonic until I conducted an experiment in my Biology class in which grapes were exposed to Sprite and White Grape Juice. The grapes in the White Grape Juice showed to be somewhat isotonic and each grape in Sprite had a visible increase in mass. This was weighed with the same scale and materials were the same. I did three trials and all trials displayed a hypotonic result from Sprite, thus my hypothesis which was that the grapes in Sprite would shrivel up and decrease in mass because Sprite is a hypertonic solution, was not supported by my data. Although the trials were few in number, the end result for each one appeared the same. Therefore, I can conclude that Sprite is in fact a hypotonic solution instead of a hypertonic solution as I had first thought.
How would an increase in mass affect the basic properties of a star?
As mass increases It increases the surface temperature , luminosity, and radius.
The mass of an atom increases or decreases during a chemical reaction?
the mass increases during a chemical reaction. because if heated or cooled then it would put on more mass for the atom.
What will happen to decalcified eggs when placed into a hypertonic solution?
This is answered in dot point form because this is the best way to answer your questions in VCE biology -A decalcified egg that is placed in a hypertonic solution will mean that the solute concentration outside of the egg is higher than the solute concentration in the egg cells -This means that due to the solute not being able to move through the semi-permeable membrane, osmosis will take place -Water molecules will move out of the egg to equalize the concentration of the solute outside of the cells and the solute concentration within the cells -Therefore, this will cause a decrease in the mass of the decalcified egg (the more hypertonic a solution is that the decalcified egg is placed into, the greater the percentage of mass loss there will be due to the increase in osmosis) Hope this helped ^-^

Why would a fry lose mass when placed in Sucrose?
A fry would loose mass if it was hypotonic and the solution was hypertonic, in other words if the solution contained more solute than the fry. This would change the mass because through osmosis the water would balance out the ratio of solvent to solute in the fry and the solution, since the solution originally had more solute than the fry, more water would have to go to the solution to balance it out.

How does dissolving salt in water change the density of the water?
The density increases as the mass of the solution increases but its volume remains the same.

What happenes to the force when the mass increases?
When the mass increases then the force also increases
When your mass increases what happens to your weight?
If your mass increases, your weight also increases.
Entropy change for dissolving salt in water?
This question isn't very complete, but if you meant what is the solute or solvent, the water would be the solvent because there is more water than salt. In this case, the salt is the solute. If there...

Will a potato lose weight if it is peeled and soaked in a salt water solution for a day?
Because of osmosis the water in the potato will move into the hypertonic solution causing the potato to lose weight.
