Answer:
C. Water passes into the salt solution, dehydrating bacterial cells and making them harmless.
Explanation:
The salt solution is hypertonic to the bacterial cells and as such, water molecules will move from the bacterial cells into the salt solution, dehydrating the cells and rendering them harmless.
Option A is also true but it is irrelevant to the question asked. Option B and D are wrong.
The correct option is C.
Answer:
The rate of reaction increases when the reaction is catalyzed by using catalyst.
Explanation:
Catalyst is a specie which when involved in reaction, speeds up the reaction without consuming itself. The catalyst is regenerated at the end of reaction and is recovered in good yield. Catalyst main role in reaction is to decrease the Activation energy of the reaction. This decrease in activation is achieved through different mechanisms. Without going in detail, they are as follow,
1) By providing different pathway to reaction
2) By weakening the bonds
3) By providing surface area to reactants

Preparing a solution of known concentration is perhaps the most common activity in any analytical lab. The method for measuring out the solute and the solvent depend on the desired concentration and how exact the solution’s concentration needs to be known. Pipets and volumetric flasks are used when we need to know a solution’s exact concentration; graduated cylinders, beakers, and/or reagent bottles suffice when a concentrations need only be approximate. Two methods for preparing solutions are described in this section.
