Chapter 9: Q. 9.82 (page 317)

Why do lettuce leaves in a salad wilt after a vinaigrette dressing containing salt is added?(9.6)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The cells of leaves shrink as a result of water loss. As a hyperosmotic medium, the salad dressing is being used.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction.

Vinaigrette is created by combining oil with a neutral acid like acid or lime juice (citric acid). Salt, herbs, and/or spices can be added into the mixture. The most main applications is as a salad dressing.

02

Given data.

Osmosis is the diffusion of hydrogen atoms via a semipermeable membrane. Due to water loss, hypertonic solution causes of the leaf to shrink.

03

Explanation.

The introduction of salt to a vinaigrette dressing causes lettuce leaves in meals to wilt. The osmosis process will cause water loss from the leaves. The pores of plants shrink as a result of water loss. The salad dressing used is a hypertonic medium.
