Question

why do our fingers skin shrink when you wash clothes

Answer 1

Our skin is porous and behaves as a semi permiable membrane. When we wash clothes, our hands are exposed to water for a long time. Our hands behave as hypertonic solution and the outside of our hands behave as hypotonic solution. Hence, water flows from high concentration to low concentration. The water is not entering your hands, it actually leaves them and hence, they shrink.

Answer 2

hey dear

here is your answer

Our fingers shrink when we wash clothes

√ Because Soap solution is a hypertonic solution

√ During washing clothes exosmosis takes places in our skin cells

√ so it happens when we wash the clothes for longer time

hope it helps
