When you put a leaf in salt water, the leaf will start to turn brown in a few days. The leaf will start to turn brown in a mater of days.
You get a mixture of salt and sand. Nothing more happens.
You create a solution of the salt in water.
Water dissolve and transport salt.
It lowers the boiling point, and makes it "salt water".
salt water freezes firast because salt raises boiling and freezing temp
It depends on how much salt is in the water. If no salt, the leaf will swell. If it is the same amount in the water as in the leaf, then nothing will happen. If more is outside than inside the leaf, it will shrivel.
The cell would lose water and the membrane would collapse.
You get salt water.
it becomes salt water
When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).
salt
the lettuce will begin to wilt do to the salt drying up the lettuce.
it dissolve in the water
the water evaporates and then it leaves the salt behind
You get a mixture of salt and sand. Nothing more happens.
The salt dissolves in the water
You create a solution of the salt in water.
