No, water does not actively follow salt. The movement of water in relation to salt is governed by osmosis, which is the passive movement of water across a semipermeable membrane to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides. This process occurs until equilibrium is reached.
What else can I help you with?
How does water behave during electrolyte regulation?
During electrolyte regulation, water bubbles up hydrogen gas because it is a dipole.
Why salt solution is used in osmosis experiment?
Salt solutions are used in osmosis experiment to show that water will move to the side that has more salt. "Water follows salt."
What happens when you put a cell in salt water and why?
The inside of a cell and the outside of the cell are usually in equilibrium as far as salt is concerned. Water always follows salt.If the outside has more salt, then water will follow it outwards. The cell will lose water and become shriveled.
Why will celery not swell and burst when put in a salty solution?
The salt outside the celery is higher than it is inside. Water will leave the celery and it will (over time) become wilted. If you put the celery into plain water, the water will move into the celery causing it to become firmer. The water will always move to where there is more salt. There is a saying that "water follows salt".
How does the amount salt affect salt crystal growth?
I think it's because salt dissolves better in hot water than cold water, so as the solution cools the salt wants to come out of solution and crystallize. When you pour the solution over the sponge, this causes the liquid to evaporate. This further concentrates the salt so that it will crystallize. The salt crystals will start to form on undissolved salt or on the sponge. Once the crystals start forming, they grow fairly rapidly...
Does water actively follow salt or does it passively follow salt?
water passively follows salt

Does water diffuse towards an area with more salt or less salt?
water follows sodium

Which one is neutral compound of follows air water sugar salt?
which one is neutral compound of follow air water sugar salt
How do fish in salt water maintain osmotic homeostasis?
Fish in salt water maintain osmotic homeostasis by drinking large amounts of water and excreting excess salt through their gills and kidneys. They also have specialized cells in their gills that actively transport salt out of their bodies to maintain the proper balance of salt and water.

Do you ad salt to a salt water pool?
No. salt water is salt water. it already has salt in it
What will most likely happen to the cells when they are placed in a medium of supersaturated salt solution?
The best rule of thumb when talking about salt and cells is the absolute rule "water follows salt". If the solution is the same saltiness, the water stays in balance. In this case, it is saltier outside the cell so water will leave. The cell will shrivel up (a process called creation).
Does the great barrier reef have fresh water or salt water?
Salt water
