Question

What happens to the dry raisins when we put them in plain water for some time? What would happen if these raisins are now placed in concentrated salt solution? State the reason for whatever is observed.

Answer 1

Answer:

Accepted Answer: When dry raisins are placed in water, they swell up. It happens because the water from the surrounding diffuses into the raisins resulting into swelling of them. ... If these raisins are placed in a concentrated salt solution, they will shrink due to osmosis.

Answer 2

Answer:

When raisins are put in plain water they becomes swollen. But when they are put in salt solution they shrinks

Explanation:

Bcoz plain water is hypotonic and it causes diffusion so water enters in raisins. But saltsolution is hypertonic so water from raisins also comes out due to osmosis so it shrinks
