Because the solute concentration in the salt water is higher then other solutions, in this case, a grape. the moisture is basically sucked out of the grape and the grape shrivels

Why a grape didn't float in fresh water and why a grape didn't sink in salt water?
Salt water is much denser than fresh water and therefore can provide a much greater buoyant force.
What would be least conductive cooper salt water glass or mercury?
Glass
Which solution has a gas solute a.) soda water b.) salt water c.) grape juice?
This solution is soda water containing carbon dioxide.
Why will the blood cell shrivel and possibly die inside a hypertonic salt solution?
There was more salt/solute outside of the cell, and the solute "sucks" away the water from the cell;making it shrink and possibly collapse in itself.
What happens when a teaspoon of table salt is stirred into a glass of water?
It dissolves.
Why do you shrivel when you get wet?
you shrivel because the water you were in is probably not a saline solution... basically there is salt in your body and if you are in the water for a long time, your skin will shrivel to make up the difference between how much salt is in your cells and how much is in the water
Why does a grape shrivel up when placed in a hypertonic solution of salt?
This is caused by ex-osmosis. The slat solution wants to become less concentrated as that is more energetically favorable. It draws the water out of the water-rich cucumber which causes it to shrivel up. The water is following a concentration gradient from low to high.
Why do slugs fear salt?
Salt actually pulls water out of their body and they will shrivel and die.
Can mystery snail survive in salt water?
No, they will shrivel up and die.
Would an animal shrivel in salt water?
it depends on what kind of animal for one. for two, it depends on how stong of a mixture you have of salt to water. if it is just regular salt water like from an ocean than no, but if you mix salt and water into a solution and the salt level is very high, it coiuld shrivel worms and things with slime.... but that would be cruel.
What happens when you soak the egg in salt water?
When you soak an egg in salt water it should shrivel or become smaller. This is because the salt water pulls out the existing water from the egg.
Why does a grape float on salt water and not fresh water?
the density
When salt water evaporates does it turn in fresh water?
Yes, it does. When the water evaporates, it can not take the salt with it, so if you left a glass of salt water out, when it is evaporated the salt will be on the glass.
Why a grape didn't float in fresh water and why a grape didn't sink in salt water?
Salt water is much denser than fresh water and therefore can provide a much greater buoyant force.
What effect does salt water have on glass and plastic?
salt corrodes glass
What happens when salt water is poured into the glass containing cold tap water?
When salt water is poured into a glass containing cold tap water, the salt water will collect and settle at the bottom of the glass. This is due to the salinity and density of the salt water.
What happens to bacteria if you put salt on it?
The salt draws the water out of the bacteria. This causes them to shrivel up and die, literally. This is why people use saline solution on piercings and gargle salt water.
