Why do raisins swell when kept in water?
Raisins are just dried grapes, so when raisins are kept in water they re-absorb liquid (that they lost in the drying process). They swell to accommodate the new liquid.
Can rusting happens with iron nail when it is kept in distilled water?
Yes, rust happens to iron nail though it is kept in distilled water.
Why do dried pulses kept in water swell up after sometime?
Because they absorb the water they're in - which makes them swell up.
Why do pulses swell when kept in water?
Pulses swell when kept in water because they absorb the water through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration (outside the pulse) to an area of low concentration (inside the pulse), causing it to swell as the water enters its structure.
What will happen if raisin kept in salt solution?
If a raisin is kept in a salt solution, water will move out of the raisin due to osmosis. This will cause the raisin to shrink and dehydrate as water flows from an area of higher concentration (inside the raisin) to an area of lower concentration (the salt solution).
What might happen if water kept entering cells but no water left the cell?
it will swell
Can algae grow in distilled water?
yes it can if the distilled water is left un covered and not kept sterle as it is made to not have any minerals in it and is not growth proof
Why dried raisins are kept in water for a few hour?
raisins will through out the water so high concentration outside& more concentration inside
A few raisins are kept in water for few hours what change would be observed in raisins?
Oh, dude, if you soak raisins in water for a few hours, they'll plump up like they just had a spa day. The raisins will absorb water through osmosis, making them all juicy and hydrated. It's like they went from being dried-up grapes to full-on grape balloons.
Will the elodea leaf swells up if it's kept in 5 of saline water?
Yes, the elodea leaf will likely swell up in 5% saline water due to osmosis. The higher concentration of salt outside the leaf will cause water to move into the leaf cells, leading to an increase in turgor pressure and swelling.
Can you use boiled water in your C-Pap?
no, you must always use Distilled Water, bought at a store, usually located in the area where Diabetic Supplies are kept.
Why do dry Apricot placed in salt solution don't swell while they do so when kept in water?
Dry apricots placed in a salt solution don't swell because the higher concentration of salt outside the apricots creates a hypertonic environment. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the apricots to balance the concentration of solutes, resulting in dehydration rather than swelling. In contrast, when dry apricots are kept in pure water, they are in a hypotonic environment, prompting water to move into the apricots, causing them to swell as they rehydrate.
