It absorbs too much water through osmosis. The cell wall pressure acts to compensate the osmotic pressure, not allowing excessive increase of the cellular volume and the cell lysis.
Metals of medium reactivity can react well with acids, water, and oxygen. They tend to corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere, react with acids to produce hydrogen gas, and can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in aqueous solutions.
It is acidic because bases rarely react with metals.
When wood is placed in mercury, nothing significant will happen as mercury is a relatively inert metal and will not react with the wood. The wood will simply float on the surface of the mercury due to the density difference between the two materials.
Blue litmus does not change when placed in a basic solution.
CO2 and H2O react with sunliught and clorophil to make sugar and oxygen. the plant uses the sugar for the energy for the cell.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water - and a hypotonic solution means it expands. a plant cell sap has a lower water potential causing the water to enter the cell - it does not fight osmosis, it works with it.
Plants placed near mirrors may grow towards the light reflected by the mirror, as they are attracted to light for photosynthesis. However, too much light or heat from the reflection can harm the plant if not properly managed.
Metals of medium reactivity can react well with acids, water, and oxygen. They tend to corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere, react with acids to produce hydrogen gas, and can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in aqueous solutions.
According to the activity series, nickel will react with metals that are placed below it in the series. This means that nickel will react with metals such as silver, copper, and gold but not with metals placed above it like hydrogen, magnesium, or zinc.
pure sodium reacts to just about everything... it even explodes when placed in water
They won't react at all, because fish need to be placed in room temperture water every time you change their water.
Carrot indicator turns yellow in an acidic medium. This change in color is due to the presence of anthocyanins that react with the acidic solution.
No. A shoplifting alarm is not a metal detector. The sensor frames do not react to metal. They react to a special tag placed on or inside the product or package.
He thinks that the snake will die or that will have magic powers
I have absolutely no clue. Sorry
When there is an increase in an object or medium's temperature, its particles have increase kinetic energy. Temperature is the measure of the average amount of kinetic energy within an object or medium.
Because of the simple fact it is a noble gas: it does not react with anything at all.
