Chips gain mass in a salt solution due to the process of osmosis. When placed in a hypertonic solution (where the concentration of salt outside the chip is higher than inside), water moves out of the chip to balance the concentration gradient. However, if the salt solution is not overly concentrated, the chips can also absorb some of the salt and water, leading to an overall increase in mass as they become more hydrated and flavorful. This balance of water movement and absorption causes the chips to gain mass.

How do you determine the mass of salt in a solution?

If I understand the question correctly %Salt=mass salt/(mass salt+Mass water) *100 If these are known all is well... Measure your salt and water on a scale and input the results for the %


How is the quantity of salt affected when the salt is reclaimed from a salt-and-water solution?

The mass of salt reclaimed should be the same as the mass of salt that was put into the solution.


determine the mass percent of a 100 mg. salt solution which contains 20g. salt?

Mass solution=100g Mass solution=20g Mass Mass % = (mass Of solute/mass Of solution ) x 100. =(20/100)x100 =1/5 x 100. =100/5 =20%


What ids the total mass of the solution when 5 gramme of salt desolved in 100 gramme of water?

The total mass of the solution is 105 grams, which is the sum of the mass of the salt (5 grams) and the mass of the water (100 grams). The mass of the solute (salt) and the solvent (water) are additive in a solution.


Why does a potato not gain or lose mass in a 4 percent concentrated salt solution?

Because the environment is Isotonic (having the same or equal osmotic pressure).


What is the method to calculate the concentration of the salt solution in parts per million?

To calculate the concentration of a salt solution in parts per million (ppm), divide the mass of the salt by the total mass of the solution and then multiply by 1,000,000. This will give you the concentration of the salt in ppm.


What is the percentage strength of a solution of table salt if 50ml of water contains 10g of salt?

The percentage strength of the solution is 20%. This is calculated by dividing the mass of the salt (10g) by the total mass of the solution (10g salt + 50g water) and multiplying by 100.

How do you separate salt and marble chips?

First you mix both chalk and salt in water. From the solution that you get, you can filter the chalk out because it is non soluble in water. As for the salt, all there is to do is to just evaporate the water out.


What unit is used to measure mass of a gain of salt?

Microgram...


Do potato cubes gain or lose mass in salt water solutions?

depends on the salt content of the potato and how concentrated the salt is. the more salt there is in the water than the potato- the more water will exit the potato which then loses mass.
