What are three ways a body can be mummified?
Bodies can be mummified in the Egyptian tradition by taking out the internal organs (which the Egyptians stored separately in jars) and letting the body dry out. A more modern technique is to saturate the body with formaldehyde, which is a powerful preservative (but also very toxic and carcinogenic, so while you can preserve bodies with it, you would not preserve food with it). An even more sophisticated technique is to freeze dry the body. In a vacuum, it will lose moisture even at low temperature, so you can dry it out while it is too cold to decay.

they used salt
What is name of the salt which the body was soaked in during mummification?
There is no definite answer, but many believe that mummies were embalmed with natron salts, which is a mixture of different salts and occurs naturally in salt lakes. Fun fact: the chemical symbol for sodium, Na, comes from "natron."
What is the best salt solution for the mummification rate of a fish?
A salt solution with a concentration of around 20% salt is typically used for mummification of fish. This concentration helps to draw moisture out of the fish while preserving its structure. It's important to ensure the solution covers the fish completely for effective mummification.

What kind of reaction did the gummy bear soaked in salt water had during the gummy bear lab?
In the gummy bear lab, the gummy bear soaked in salt water typically shrinks and becomes firmer. This reaction occurs due to osmosis, where water moves out of the bear into the saltier solution, causing the gummy bear to lose moisture and decrease in size. The salt in the water creates a hypertonic environment, pulling water molecules away from the gummy bear. As a result, the gummy bear's texture changes, and it appears smaller and denser.
How does mummification stop decay?
Mummification stops decay primarily through the removal of moisture and the use of preservatives. By dehydrating the body and applying substances like natron, which is a naturally occurring salt, the growth of bacteria and fungi is inhibited. Additionally, the process involves wrapping the body in resin-soaked linen, creating a barrier against environmental factors that contribute to decomposition. This combination of drying and sealing effectively preserves the body for centuries.
What happens to the cells of a vegetable soaked in fresh water versus salt water?
There is equilibrium. Water is shared evenly. In salt water, the vegetable will kind of shrivel up. There is no equilibrium, and the cytoplasm of the cell shrinks into the middle,and water is taken out.
