Outer hard shells of two eggs are remove...

Outer hard shells of two eggs are removed. One of the eggs is placed in pure water and the other is placed in saturated solution of sodium chloride. What will be observed and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The egg placed in water will swell due to the osmosis of pure water into the egg. On the other hand, the egg placed in the saturated solution of `NaCl` will shrink due to the osmosis of water out of the egg. This is because osmosis always occurs from higher concentration of solvent to lower concentration of solvent.

Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions (if they exist) by any algebraic method : Places A and B are 100 km apart on highway. One car starts from A and another form B at the same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at different speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. What are the speeds of the two cars ?
