Question

A mango kept in a salt solution shrinks.Hence the liquid content in mango with respect to the salt solution is ......
(A) Isotonic
(B) Hypertonic
(C) Hypotonic
(D) Equimolar​

Answer 1

Answer:

hypertonic.  a mango kept in salt solution shrink. the liquid content in mango with respect to the salt solution

Answer 2

(B) Hypertonic

1. As the salt concentration inside the raw mango decreases, the solvent begins to move from within mango to a salt solution on the outside in order to equalize both concentrations.
2. As a result, the amount of water inside the mango reduces, and the mango shrinks. When an undeveloped mango is immersed in a strong salt solution to make pickles, the mango loses water and shrivels owing to osmosis.
3. When salt is given to a raw mango slice, the surrounding becomes hypertonic, while the mango cells become hypotonic.
4. As a result, water is taken from the cells via osmosis. As a result, the mangoes slice becomes drier. Saltwater acts as a preservation by drying the slice.
