Answer: There was a lower concentration of salt in the water than in the cells.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a process in which the solvent flow from a solution of low concentration to a solution of high concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
When the red blood cells are put in water that contained salt and the red blood cells burst after some time.
This means the solvent has moved from outside to inside the cell and this is possible only when the concentration of solute is high inside the cell than outside. That means the solution has low concentration of solute as compared to the cell and was a hypotonic solution.
Explanation:
The molar mass of the compounds are incorrect
The correct response would be 3. The alkaline earth metals would tend to lose its valence electrons, in this case 2 of them at different energy levels, to form the same respective ion, which is +2.
