Question

Explain the statement " Watermelon loses water when it sprinkle with salt "

Answer 1

Answer: Salt is commonly used to dampen bitter flavors—Brussels sprouts or leafy greens are a good example—so when the bitterness of the watermelon is masked by the salt, the sugary sweetness shines. Salt also activates your salivary glands, so a bit of salt is enough to make watermelon seem juicier

Answer 2

Answer:

This is due to the Phenomena of Osmosis ( Exosmosis ).

Explanation:

When salt is sprinkled over watermelon, the water concentration inside the watermelon is more than the water concentration outside the watermelon. According to the principal of Osmosis, water moves from an area of higher water concentration to that of lower water concentration. So, water moves out of the watermelon and it thus loses water. Loss of water causes the watermelon to reduce in size and it shrinks.
