Salt would slow this rate considerably and the more salt in the water the slower this rate would be.

How does the osmosis rate change?

Osmosis rate increase when the gradient increase. That means if you have two flask, first one has salt at a concentration of 30 %, and the second one has salt at 10 %. When you connect the two flasks together, water will move from the area of high water (low salt concentration) to the area of low water (high salt concentration), from the second flask to the first. And, if you increased the difference in gradient (first flask 60 % salt and the second 10 %) so the difference will increase and the osmosis rate will increase too.


What is the formula to calculate the rate of osmosis?

how do you calculate the rate of osmosis


Why does temperature affect the rate of osmosis?

as the temperature increases, the rate of osmosis increases


Does temperature affect the rate of osmosis?

Yes as temperature increases. So, does the rate of osmosis.


Why salt solution is used in osmosis experiment?

Salt solutions are used in osmosis experiment to show that water will move to the side that has more salt. "Water follows salt."


Why do slugs die when you put salt on them osmosis?

The salt leaches the fluids out of the slug, due to osmosis. The slug then dies of dehydration.


What is the effect of saline on RBCs?

it should have no effect. the two solutions should have the same amount of salt, allowing no osmosis to occur!


What is the effect of salt on the rate at which water boils?

it makes the water boil faster


Why does temperature effect the rate of osmosis?

Theoretically, the maximum point of increase in the rate of osmosis with the increase of temperature should be the boiling point of water. At this point, the water can not get hotter (without superheating due to the addition of pressure), therefor the rate of osmosis could not be any greater.Yes, increasing temperature would result in an increase in the rate of osmosis, as the water molecules would have more energy and therefore faster Brownian motion. This means the molecules move around a lot faster, so equilibrium would be reached faster.


What are the factors that affect the rate of osmosis?

The rate of osmosis is dependent on factors such as temperature, particle size (surface area), and the concentration gradient and time given for osmosis to occur


Does salt effect the ability of ice's melting rate?

Yes, and this depends on the chemical and physical nature of the salt and also on the concentration.


What will separate salt from salt water solution?

Destiling or reverse osmosis.
