. A student cut three identical slices from a potato. Shedetermined the mass of each slice. She then placed them in labeledbeakers and added a different solution to each beaker. After 30minutes, she removed each potato slice from its solution, removedthe excess liquid with a paper towel, and determined the mass ofeach slice. The change in mass was calculated and the results areshown in the data table below.
Change in Mass of Potato in Different Solutions: Initial Mass17.0 grams, 17.6 grams , 16.4 grams / Final Mass 22.0 grams ,17.6grams ,15.8 grams
Identify the process that is responsible for the change in massof each of the three slices. _Explain why the potato slice inbeaker 1 increased in mass._________
