Question

A student purchases and weighs 5 pounds of carrots from a local grocery store. She notices that the grocery store constantly sprays its produce with distilled water. After returning home, she weighs the carrots again and discovers that they weigh only 4.2 lbs. They also no longer seem as crisp and taut. Provide a possible explanation for why the carrots weighed more at the store, based on the information learned in this lab.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it helps

Explanation:

The grocery store constantly sprays its produce with distilled water to keep them hydrated and look fresher. If the regular misting (spraying with water) of vegetables are not done, they will rapidly dry out and experience a reduction in weight and shrink in size
