    amount of water? My project will determine how much table salt, epsom salt and sugar will dissolve in distilled water. Distilled water is water that is purified by distillation which is when you heat up water and get rid of the natural minerals that are usually found in the water. You can’t drink this kind of water because it doesn’t have the minerals that we need. Out of the three substances, I think the table salt will dissolve the fastest because it is an ionic substance and water is a polar

    inner workings. One question asked about cells was about why they expand when exposed to distilled water. It could be due to macromolecules in the cell’s cytoplasm trying to move out of the cell, after distilled water is absorbed, but are blocked by the cell’s membrane and inadvertently pushing on its membrane from the inside out causing the cell to expand.
