∙ 13y agoIf the solution outside of the cell had less salts (solutes) than inside of the cell's cytoplasm (solvent), then water would travel from the cytoplasm into the salt solution to try and balance the concentration through the theory of osmosis.

What would happen if Increasing the salt concentration in a solution?
specific weight raise up
What will happen if a large quantity of NaCl is added to the aqueous solution?
The solubility of sodium chloride is 360,9 g/L at 20 0C; after this concentration the solution is supersaturated.
What will happen to an animal cell if placed in a concentrated solution?
when an animal cell is placed in a concentrated or diloute solution, it soakes up the water but because animal cell do not have cell walls like plant cells they will eventually burst.
What might happen to human blood cells if placed in a beaker of salt water?
It depends on the concentration of salt within the solution. If the saline solution was less than 0.9%, then water would flow into the cells and they would swell and possible rupture. If the saline concentration was greater than 0.9%, then water would flow out of the cells and shrink which is called crenation. It the saline solution was 0.9% exactly, that is isotonic to the interior of a RBC and nothing would happen.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.

Predict what will happen to the hydrogen ion concentration of an acidic solution if you add water to it?
Adding water dilutes the solution and therefore reduces the concentration of hydrogen ions.
How does osmosis happen?
Diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration until there is an equal concentration of fluid on both sides of the membrane
What happens to animal cells in salt water?
Salt water is hypertonic (has more solute) to the cell. So when an animal cell is put in salt solution water will rush out and the cell will shrivel up because there is too much salt and too little water inside. the salt solution is said to be hypertonic to the cytoplasm of the cells.

What happen when an acid dissolves?
It increases the concentration of OH- in solution. (apex)
What will happen when you put an animal cell in a in hypertonic solution?
it will shrink
What can happen to animal cells when placed in a isotonic solution?
Nothing. There is no difference between concentration's gradient and so no net flow of water from cytosol [liquid part of cytoplasm] to the solution in which cell is immersed occurs.
What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in 50 percent salt solution?
It will shrink.
If an animal cell is put into a concentrated sugar solution what will happen?
The cell will dehydrate.
What will happen if a large quantity of NaCl is added to the aqueous solution?
The solubility of sodium chloride is 360,9 g/L at 20 0C; after this concentration the solution is supersaturated.
What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
