the dead sea is the saltiest body of water in the world.
Water
This statement means that as the solute concentration increases, the concentration of water decreases. Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent such as water. Osmosis occurs whenever there is a difference of water concentrations between two sides of a membrane. The water diffuses to the side of the membrane which contains the highest concentration of solutes. by Together.
That is what is known as an aqueous solution.
The highest concentration of sodium chloride in water is approx. 390 g/L at 100 oC.
If a cell contains higher water concentration, it means it has higher water potential. So, it will lose some of its water inside, and eventually shrink.
water contains iron and ethanol doesnt. this is why Water has ions, ( not iron), in a higher concentration than ethanol.
Best example : water! H2O...it is H1OH1
The body of water which has the highest content of dissolved mineral matter is the Dead Sea. It has a salt content which is 9 times higher than regular sea water, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and other minerals.
The pure water has the pH=7; the concentrations of OH- and H3O + are equivalent.
A solution which has a high concentration of a solute (example - glucose) will have a low water concentration. But when you look at pure water it has a high water concentration. So if a cell contains a high concentration of glucose and was placed in a pure water solution, water would simply move down its concentration gradient (going from high to low) which eventually causes the cell to swell. I hope this helped :D
Israel. The Dead Sea.
Diffusion is a process in which solute molecules move from higher concentration towards lower concentration. While in case of Osmosis, the water moves towards highest solute concentration in a semi-permeable membrane.
