I wonder that how this is a chemistry question.
I know the biology answer to this question.
And here it is...
If the cell burts after sometimes, it maybe kept in an hypertonic solution in which the concentration of the solute is more than that inside the cell..
We know that water or solutes move from higher concentration to lower concentration...
Same happens when a cell is kept in a hypertonic solution.. The solute outside moves inside of the cell leading to the swelling up of the cell..
After sometimes the cell bursts due to swelling up more of it.
Hope it helps. :)
