Strategy:
 Osmosis is the spontaneous movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration (hypotonic) to a region of high solute concentration (hypertonic) to equalize the concentrations.

Step 1: Analyze the mango problem
- Inside the mango: Liquid with a lower salt concentration.
- Outside the mango: Concentrated salt solution (higher concentration).
- Semi-permeable membrane: The outer skin of the mango.

Step 2: Determine the process
