Why a tomato plant is likely to wilt if too much fertilizer is applied to it

Once two solutions of different concentrations come into contact, water molecules will flow from low to higher concentrated solution. Hence application of fertilizer makes the soil solution of higher concentration so water flow out of the plant by osmosis. The tomato plant plasmolyses/loses water and wilt.

Note

Plasmolysis describes a process involving a plant cell losing water content and therefore contracting and shrinking its cytoplasm and plasma membrane away from the inside of its cell wall. This occurs if the solution surrounding a plant cell is hypertonic or has a high concentration of solutes like salt.

i)

Observations made in laboratory activities

I

10 g of iodated salt was added to 150 ml of water in a baker. The mixture was stirred thoroughly

Observation: The iodated salt dissolved (completely) in the water(forming a miscible solution/mixture)

II

Vegetable oil was added to a quantity of water in a corked flask and shaken vigorously then allowed to stand for some time.

Observations

1. The oil is suspended on the surface of the water (forming an immiscible solution/mixture)
2. The oil and the water will not mix together
3. The oil and the water separates into individual layers

III

Few grams of grinded charcoal was added to water in a beaker and stirred vigorously and then allowed to stand.

Observation: The charcoal does not dissolve in the water/It settles on the surface of the water forming mixture

ii)

Suggested aim for the experiment

1. To demonstrate the method of preparation of mixtures
2. To determine whether a homogeneous mixture/solution or heterogeneous mixture/solution would be formed
3. To prepare a mixture/solution
4. To determine if the solute will dissolve/mix with the solvent/water to form a solution/mixture

iii)

Differences between activity I and III

I II
The mixture/solution is Homogeneous The mixture/solution is Heterogeneous
The solute/iodated salt dissolved (completely) in the solvent/water The solute/charcoal did not dissolve in the solution/water

iv)

Method of separation for the activity carried out in II

Use of separating funnel
