It would shrivel up because the salt water can't get through the membrane.

What are two qualitatively describing concentration?

Two qualitative descriptions of concentration are "dilute" and "concentrated." A dilute solution contains a relatively small amount of solute compared to the solvent, resulting in a weak flavor or effect. Conversely, a concentrated solution has a high amount of solute, leading to a stronger flavor or more pronounced effect. These terms help convey the relative strength of a solution without providing specific numerical values.


How do you make dilute solution more concentrated?

You add more solvent.


Why does a raw egg swell or shrink when placed in different solutions?

A raw egg without its shell but with its inner membrane intact will either swell or shrink when placed in a solution because of the concentration gradient. The membrane is semi-permeable. An egg will shrink if it is placed in a solution that has a higher solute concentration than inside it. It will swell if it is placed in a solution that has a lower solute concentration than inside the egg.


What happens when conductivity is to high?

When conductivity is too high, it can indicate an excess of ions or impurities in the solution. This can lead to inaccurate measurements in analytical techniques or interfere with chemical reactions. Additionally, high conductivity can pose a risk to the environment if the solution is discharged without proper treatment.


What is the solution called when it has no ions?

A solution without ions is called a nonionic solution. This means that the solute molecules in the solution do not dissociate into charged particles like ions.

How can a solution be made more concentrated?

Increase the amount of solvent.


How do you change a dilute solution to concentrated solution?

Either add more solute to the solution, or remove some of the solvent (by distillation or some other method of reduction).


What is a non example of dilute solution?

Well, darling, a non-example of a dilute solution would be something like concentrated orange juice straight from the carton or a shot of espresso without any water added. Basically, if it's packing a punch and not watered down, it's not dilute. Hope that clears things up for you, sugar.

It is possible to have dilute concentrations of strong acids or bases and concentrated solutions of weak acids or bases.explain.?

Yes; this is done in chemistry labs all the time!You can prepare a dilute solution (which has a low molarity; a lower concentration of H3O+, hydronium ions) of a strong acid (a low molarity) by placing a small amount of the concentrated acid in a larger amount of water.

Is heating the salt solution a chemical or physical?

Heating a salt solution is a physical change, not a chemical change. When a salt solution is heated, the water in the solution may evaporate, or the solution may become more concentrated, but the chemical composition of the salt (sodium chloride) remains unchanged. This process only alters the physical state or the concentration of the solution, without any new substances being formed. For more information on heating solutions and its applications, you can visit SQ Heating Solution.


Why do eggs get smaller if put in maple syrup?

An egg without its shell will get smaller in a concentrated solution because water is taken from the egg into the solution. Remember osmosis.


What do they mean when they say that concentrated nitric acid is 16 molar?

16 molar nitric acid is highly concentrated and corrosive in the extreme. It means that in 1(one) litre of solution, there are 16 (sixteen) moles of nitric acid. NB Under weaker solutions of nitric acid, the dissolution of copper has to be heated. However, in 16M nitric acid , copper is readily dissolved without heating. In the lab. take no more than 5 cm^(3) at a time, and handle it in the fume cupboard. TREAT VERY CAREFULLY!!!!! Have a solution of calcium hydroxide readily available in order to neutralise any spillages.


What happens to nitrate when you electroplate sliver nitrate?

When silver nitrate is electroplated, the silver ions in the silver nitrate solution are reduced at the cathode, forming a silver metal coating on the substrate. The nitrate ions from the silver nitrate solution are left in the solution without participating directly in the electroplating process.


Is osmosis active or passive transport?

Osmosis is a passive transport process. It involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration without the use of energy.


How does osmosis take up water?

Osmosis is the transfer of a solvent (e.g. water) through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution on one side to a more concentrated solution on the other side. Osmosis is driven by ordinary statistical diffusion, the same movement of solvent occurs even without the membrane but the membrane prevents other types of mixing (e.g. mechanical, convection) that would allow mixing of solutes in the solutions. Only mixing by diffusion through the membrane is allowed.
