Salt keeps an apple from rotting
but acually from my point of view i did this for my science project and it turned outa lemon juice turned out to work better than salt so try it and see what happens :P
Salt stops an apple from rotting due to its antibacterial properties.
Water will start to dissolve the apple, but it will in no way rot it. Rotting is caused by decomposers, mainly bacteria. These decomposers can not live under water, so the apple would not rot at all.
YEs
An average-sized apple contains about 19 grams of sugar, almost no fat, and negligible amount of salt.
Fruits such as apples and pears will rot if exposed to certain fungi. These fungi are relatively weak but can attack damaged or overly ripened fruit. When fruits such as apples ripen, they give off a gas called ethylene. Ethylene gas accelerates the ripening process, which will lead to over ripening. Taking certain precautions to prevent exposure to fungi and over ripening will prevent the rotting of the fruit. Washing the fruit in lemon juice and/or storing the fruit in airtight containers and removing rotting fruit are examples of ways to prevent rotting
To stop something from rotting we preserve it. Preservation means to stop from rotting.
Salt and sugar act as preservatives by drawing out moisture through osmosis, which inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold that cause spoilage.

Salt and sugar are things, hence, they use the pronoun it. Do you have any salt? No, we are out of it.
It isn't really a matter of what would dissolve first, as it is which dissolves faster. Both would dissolve at the same time, but the sugar would dissolve faster, and in higher quantities. Sugar has a solubility of 211.5 g/100 mL of water where salt only is ~37 g/ 100 mL. Sugar still dissolves faster even though apple juice has 10.8 g of sugar per 100 mL, since the solubility is as high as it is, sugar would dissolve first.
''Yes because apples have less calcium and salt water has more protein and lemon juice has more sugar than all two. So the answer is yes''
