What else can I help you with?
Do people sink or float in salt water?
depends on the concentration of salt. The higher the concentration of salt the more likely you are to float.
Does the concentration of salt decrease when water evaporates?
No, the concentration of salt remains the same even if water evaporates. However, the amount of water decreases, causing the remaining water to have a higher concentration of salt.
Why does salt water stop a bean from growing?
The higher the salt concentration the more water that is drawn from the bean. The lower the salt concentration the more the bean will expand.
What happens to the concentration of salt in a salt water solution as it is being boiled?
Salt does not boil away at approx. 100 Celsius. The water evaporates causing the concentration of salt to increase.
Is a cup of seawater has a higher concentration of salt than a teaspoon of seawater?
The cup of seawater has more salt, but the concentration, that is, the amount that it is diluted, is exactly the same.
How are conductivity and concentration of a salt solution related?
The greater the concentration of salt in an aqueous solution, the higher the electrical conductivity. This is because, with a greater salt concentration, there are more ions available to serve as a path for electron transfer in the solution.
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).
Why is salt water and fresh water different?
One has a higher salt concentration....try to figure which one that is on your own.
What if a semipermeable membrane has a 2 percent salt solution on one side a 15 percent salt solutionWhat will mostly occur?
Osmosis of water from a low concentration of salt to a high concentration
Can salt cause water to diffuse?
Yes, salt can cause water to diffuse through a process called osmosis. When salt is dissolved in water, it creates a concentration gradient, with a higher concentration of solute (salt) on one side of a semi-permeable membrane. Water will move from the area of lower solute concentration (more dilute) to the area of higher solute concentration (more concentrated) to balance the concentrations. This movement of water is what drives the diffusion process.
IS WATER with less salt more concentrated than water with more salt?
Tricky question. Are you talking about the concentration of salt in the water or the concentration of water in the salt? It is unusual to talk about the concentration of water unless it is dissolved in another solvent like alcohol. Pure water has a constant concentration of 55.6 mol/dm3. Water is more concentrated without salt in it.
Why does the cell give off water in a high salt solution?
The concentration of the water determines the rate of diffusion. A higher concentration of water will be transported to an area with a lower concentration, via the concentration gradient. In a high salt solution, the concentration of the water is higher in the cell, and so the water is diffused through the cells semi-permeable membrane into the high salt solution, to try to stabilise the concentration differential.
