The cells in the persons body would try to equalize the concentration on the outside and inside of the cell. This would lead to the cells exposed to the hypotonic solution dehydrating themselves.

Because if you drink an extreme amount of salt your blood becomes a hypertonic solution (less water than cells), this makes your cells loose water, to reach equilibrium. Without water cells cannot function because water is an important factor in most life processes.

What is the solution casting method?

It is the simplest method used to create thin films from solution using centrifugal force. By drop small amount of polymer solution (or chemical solution) onto spinning head (mold or surface), then spin the solution (rpm for few seconds or minutes), the centrifugal force (force used for rotating around the motor) will provide enough force to spread the solution droplet into thin film layers spreading out on top of the surface (mold).


An object floats because it displaces a weight of fluid?

An object floats for three reasons. One, it is less dense than the solution it is floating in. Such as a piece of wood. Two, the object contains something that is less dense than what it is floating in. Such as a baloon. Three, the shape of the object is such that it does not have enough weight to displace enough of the solution to envelop the object. Such as with any seagoing vessell.
