Yes, salt can cause water to diffuse through a process called osmosis. When salt is dissolved in water, it creates a concentration gradient, with a higher concentration of solute (salt) on one side of a semi-permeable membrane. Water will move from the area of lower solute concentration (more dilute) to the area of higher solute concentration (more concentrated) to balance the concentrations. This movement of water is what drives the diffusion process.
What else can I help you with?
What would heating do to the rate of a diffusion of a salt crystal in water?
As you heat the water the partials expand making it easier to diffuse.
Will a quarter rust faster in salt water or fresh water?
salt water cause of the salt particals in the water
What happens in terms of diffusion of salt and water?
In terms of diffusion, salt and water move across a semi-permeable membrane due to concentration gradients. Water molecules diffuse from an area of lower solute concentration (hypotonic solution) to an area of higher solute concentration (hypertonic solution) in a process called osmosis. Conversely, salt ions may diffuse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration. This movement continues until equilibrium is reached, where the concentrations of salt and water become balanced on both sides of the membrane.
In Osmosis does salt diffuse through a membrane?
Yes
Why would crystals diffuse faster in hot water than in cold water?
Crystals diffuse faster in hot water because the heat increases the kinetic energy of water molecules, making them move more rapidly and allowing for quicker diffusion of the dissolved particles from the crystal. The increased temperature also decreases the viscosity of the water, which reduces resistance to the diffusion process.
Does water diffuse towards an area with more salt or less salt?
water follows sodium
What is the effect of salt on plants?
Salts will cause water to diffuse out of plant vacuoles, leading their cells to become flaccid. Thus, the plant will wilt.
Is salt soluble?
Yes, sodium chloride can diffuse in water solutions.
What would heating do to the rate of a diffusion of a salt crystal in water?
As you heat the water the partials expand making it easier to diffuse.
Will a quarter rust faster in salt water or fresh water?
salt water cause of the salt particals in the water
Does mixing salt into a cut flowers water affect how long it live?
Yes. It actually shortens the plant life. The water in the plant will diffuse into the salt water. This means that the water that the plant cells use is drained down into the salt water because the salt can not pass through the plant which leaves the plant to die faster
Why does salt get in the water?
cause your gay
How does a high consentration of salt affect cells?
You are looking at a hypertonic solution, where there is a higher amount of salt outside the cell than there is inside the cell. The water inside the cell will diffuse out, which causes the cell to shrink. This is why your fingers shrivel in the bathtub. The opposite will happen in a hypotonic solution. The cell has more salt than the outside, and the water will diffuse into the cell, causing it to swell.
Explain why a carrot feels spongy after being soaked in salt water?
Water moves out of the carrot's cells and into the salt water due the difference in concentration of NaCl. This might account for the spongy-ness of the carrot
Which salts does not diffuse in water?
Insoluble salts doesn't diffuse in water.
What is the effect to water pipes when exposed to salt water?
Salt water cause corrosion on most metal pipes.
Why is a pond called fresh water?
cause it has no salt water
