The cells of a human body are generally slightly salty. Therefore, by adding fresh water, we have the action of osmosis happening, but if the doctors used plain water, the cell would fill up too much because of the excess water in the vacuole (a place the cell uses to store water and other necessities) and it would lead to the cell bursting and dying. Also, since the cell doesn't have a cell wall, the cell can burst like this, unlike a plant cell which has a cell wall. Technically all this means that it is very bad for the person when you use plain water. :)

What can be used instead of baking soda for facial scrub?
Unless you have some skin condition, doctors recommend plain soap, warm water, and scrubbing with a washcloth.
Why sugar cube floats on oil?
a solution of water and sugar has a greater density than plain water. Because the solution is more dense than plain water, objects of lower density than the solution will float
What would happen if a dialysis patients blood was exposed to plain water instead of dialysis solution?
Exposing a dialysis patient's blood to plain water instead of dialysis solution can lead to hemolysis (rupture of red blood cells), electrolyte imbalances, and potentially fatal complications due to osmotic imbalances. It is crucial to use the correct dialysis solution to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood safely.
Is it bad to use an IV that contains only plain water?
A: Yes. Inserting plain water into an IV can kill a patient. The solution must be made of saline, an isotonic solution of sodium chloride and distilled water. If the IV is made of plain water, then it will be hypotonic to blood cells, causing them to burst.
How can alcohol dissolved in water separate?
In an alcoholic-water solution there will be an alchoholic smell compared to the smell of just plain water. In an alcoholic-water solution there will be an alchoholic smell compared to the smell of just plain water.
What does neutral solution taste like?
A neutral solution, such as water, typically has no distinct taste. It should not impart any flavor on the palate.
Does salt soak up water?
No, salt does not soak up water. Instead, it dissolves in water, forming a solution.
Can you add mild sulfuric acid and distilled water solution to batteries instead of just distilled water?
yes
Is kerosene in water a true solution?
No, kerosene in water is not a true solution. Kerosene is immiscible in water, which means that they do not mix together to form a homogeneous solution. Instead, kerosene forms separate droplets in water due to differences in their polarities.
Why is Coca-Cola heaver than diet coke?
A solution of sugar (or high fructose corn syrup) in water is denser than plain water. A solution of artificial sweetner in water is also denser than plain water, but artificial sweetners are usually so much sweeter than sugar that only a tiny amount is needed, so the difference in density is not great.
Is a orange a solution?
Yes, and no. Orange Juice is a solution and a mixture. It is true to say that orange juice is a solution because the flavorings are dissolved in the water (you dont get plain water and all the flavorings even if you do not stir it). However, you do get pulp (unlikely to be the real thing but still...) dissolved in the water but remaining as a solid.
What boils faster salt water or plain water?
For salt water to boil faster than plain water, the salt concentration would have to be fairly high. In addition, the salt water would need to be a salt water solution before putting the pot on to heat because of the density of the water content itself.
