Cucumbers are often soaked in salt water to remove some of the naturally high water content. Cucumbers can be made into pickles by fermenting or quick packed in a vinegar solution and processed in a boiling water bath and then they can be kept on the shelf for up to a year

Which way would the water molecules move in a cucumber slice in salt water?

Water molecules would move out of the cucumber slice and into the salt water by the process of osmosis. This is because the concentration of salt is higher in the salt water, causing water to move from an area of higher concentration (inside the cucumber slice) to an area of lower concentration (the salt water).
