When mango is placed in dilute aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, it?

A

Shrinks

B

Swells

C

Brusts

D

Nothing happens

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The `H^(+)` ion concentration in the medium is lower than that of `H^(+)` concentration present in the mango juice therefore osmotic pressure inside the mango is higher than that of aqueous hydrochloric acid. Therefore `H_(2)O` will be passes out from the mango into aqueous hydrochloric acid. therefore mango shrinks.
