Slugs and snails have a very high percentage of their body-weight made up of water, compared to other animals. Additionally, their skin is a much more permeable to water loss as well as ions and other small molecules, this is why they must keep their skin very moist.
When salt comes into contact with the skin of a slug or snail, osmosis drags water out through the cells lining the skin due to the sudden high concentration of a pure salt crystal on the surface of its skin. Certain species can deal with small crystals of salt by excreting large amounts of mucus in the area, reducing contact and water loss.
However, when the salt load is too much, large amounts of water are osmotically drawn out the snail and results in severe dehydration. The snail will lose volume due to water loss and will no longer be able to carry out basic cellular function.
First, take it out of the aquarium. Then pour salt on it. they will melt when in contact with salt.
Salt
Yes, the more salt the better to melt the ice.
Salt
Salt, obviously.
yes
Salt lowers the melting point of ice, making it melt faster and at a lower temperature.
no a salt water snail has to be in salt water
salt
In theory, the more salt you add to ice, the more you lower its melting point and the more ice will melt.
no, but ice melt is a salt
SALT DOESNT MELT THE ICE IT JUST LOWERS THE FREEZING POINTWell Salt Does Make Ice Melt Faster :) I made the project and my result were correct SALT melts ice faster :)
