<p>For what's it's worth, I go along with those who think there is a
balance phenomenon occurring. You are adding 5 g to approximately
200 g of liquid; a 2.5% increase in weight and seeing a drop of
weight of at least 4% from the weight you just added, in a short
period of time. Unless my calculations are severely off, that's a
substantial chemical reaction change with liberation of mass and
you should also be able to observe otherwise: e.g., fizzing, heat
liberation, color change, etc. I would try your experiment with
another scale; preferable non-digital, if possible. Or change the
order of the procedure (probably not easily done). Is your scale
going through some sort of "re-zeroing"?</p>
<p>Best, Dick Wagner <br>
