The best theory for osmosis in the context of grapes and raisins in salt and fresh water is the semi-permeable membrane theory. When grapes are placed in fresh water, water enters the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell and become plump. Conversely, when raisins are placed in salt water, water moves out of the cells to balance the concentration of solutes, leading to the raisins shrinking and becoming wrinkled. This demonstrates the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane in response to concentration gradients.
When fresh raisins are placed in a concentrated sugar solution, water will move out of the raisins and into the solution through osmosis. This process occurs because the sugar solution has a higher solute concentration than the inside of the raisins, causing them to lose moisture. As a result, the raisins will shrivel and become less plump. Additionally, the concentrated sugar may begin to draw out some of the flavors and sugars from the raisins, potentially altering their taste.
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.
Yes, the raisins will swell due to osmosis, where the solvent goes from a low solute concentration to a higher solute concentration, which in this case, is from the distilled water to inside the raisin.
Boiling ruptures the cell membrane of raisins, preventing osmosis from taking place as the cell membrane is necessary for the process. In a hypertonic solution, the raisins would not absorb water due to the damaged cell membrane. In a hypotonic solution, they would not release water as the cell membrane cannot regulate the movement of water.
Raisins sink in water because they are denser. However, the carbon dioxide molecules found in soda float to the top because they want to escape from the liquid. These CO2 molecules (seen as bubles) attatch to the raisins pulling them up to the surface as well. When the CO2 bubles reach the surface, they pop and the raisins begin to sink again.
There will be no change in the shape of the raisins since the concentration of solvent{most likely water} is equal in the interior and exterior parts of the cell. So no osmosis takes place since the solvent is already in the equilibrium.
it soaks up and turns softer .but does not turn back to a grape it soaks up and turns softer .but does not turn back to a grape
