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.
~When you put salt in potato and then put it in the water cup, there is low water concentration in potato and more concentration in the cup of water. Due to this concentration gradient water moves from the cup into the potato by osmosis.
Your skin gets wet and salty
Salt water animals (save for the few that actually can live in either salt water or fresh water) can not survive in fresh water because their cells are isotonic to the salt water, but they would be highly hypertonic to the fresh water.That is to say, the concentration of salt within the organism's cells would be equal to the concentration of salt in the salt water, but would be far higher than the concentration of salt in the fresh water, and thus osmosis would be triggered, and the cells would "lyce" (when a cell lyces, it means it bursts due to an overabundant amount of water being forced into the cell)
When salt is added to water, it dissolves due to the attraction between the positive and negative ions in the salt and the water molecules. This creates a solution where the salt molecules are dispersed throughout the water, forming a homogeneous mixture.
When you put soil in salt water, the water will dissolve some of the salt. This can affect the soil's pH levels and nutrient content, potentially making it less suitable for plant growth. Additionally, high salt concentrations can also impact the soil structure and hinder water absorption by plants.
The egg should have its water or substance in the egg come out through the cell membrane. :)
It floats.

They die
Due to osmosis water will flow to where there is a higher concentration of solvent and the solvent will flow to where there is less concentration (if it can). So, if you put it in salt water, the water will flow out of the cell because it will dilute the extra solvent (salt) outside the cell. And if you put it in fresh water, water will rush in because there is more solvent in the cell.
they will die
The volume remain unchanged.
The concentration of salt increase up to saturation.
Salt will dissolve in water. Adding salt will lower the temperature of water by a few degrees Celsius as well as lower the freezing point.
it will die
adding salt raises the boiling point of water which can help speed cooking time.
Salt water is hypertonic (has more solute) to the cell. So when an animal cell is put in salt solution water will rush out and the cell will shrivel up because there is too much salt and too little water inside. the salt solution is said to be hypertonic to the cytoplasm of the cells.
