Question

Why the onions gain mass when soaked in dilute solutions Of sodium chloride

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi Friend,

Here's what I know... So, Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Therefore, when they are introduced to More Concentrated solution i.e. NaCl2 in your case, the liquid of the solution is absorbed by the onion and thus, it swells...

Answer 2

when soaked in dilute sodium chloride solution onion gain mass because of the process of osmosis.

Explanation:

• Osmosis is a process when there is movement of water from the region of comparatively higher concentration to the region of lower concentration across in a permeable membrane.

• the cell membrane of onion is a selectively permeable membrane. the concentration of solute inside the onion is more than that of the dilute sodium chloride solution. Hence water moves from the sodium chloride solution to the onion.

• Hence there is an increase in the mass of the onion
