What happen in an egg when it placed in a salt solution?

The salt water egg experiment is to demonstrate that salt water is denser so the egg floats. When the egg is placed in pure water, the egg sinks because pure water is less dense than salt water.

Extremely pure water (Kolrausch water) has a very poor electrical conductivity.


What would happen if you placed an artificial cell with 5M glucose in a beaker with pure water?

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


What happens if a potato slice is placed in pure water?

When a potato slice/piece is placed in pure water, it gains mass and appears to be blown up. This is because the water is travelling into the potato because it has a lower concentration of water inside it.


What would happen if a living cell was placed into pure water?

Because the water is pure, the water outside will follow the concentration gradient of osmosis (from high concentration to low concentration). Since the percentage of solutes is much lower (in fact it's not even there in pure water) and the water concentration is much higher, ergo it'll flow into the cell to balance out the concentration. This causes the cell to swell, and eventually burst, or lyse.
