Question

What will happen if dry apricots are left for sometime in pure water and later transferred to sugar solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

When dry apricots are left for sometime in pure water, they will swell.

Because, water will enter into them through the process of osmosis.

Later,when these apricots will be transferred to sugar solution, they will again shrink.

This also occurs due to osmosis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Dry apricots have more solutes than pure water. Hence, the endosmosis, i.e., water molecules will move from outside to the inside of the apricot through the wall of apricot. Due to this, apricots will swell eventually. When such apricots are transferred to the sugar solution, then the solution will be the hypertonic bearing high amount of solute. Hence, exosmosis, i.e., water will move from inside to the outside of apricot through the apricot wall.  Due to this, apricot will shrink
