1. when a sugary gummy bear is placed in water, there are more dissolved solutes (inside/outside) the gummy bear.
2. your gummy bear increased in size after being soaked in tap water. why did it expand?
(hint: remember that this is osmosis, and that water loves solutes.)
(note: giving 50 points because i'm confused and appreciate the so much! also, you don't need to see the assignment to know what the answer is. i just don't understand much about solutes.)

When a sugary gummy bear is placed in water, there are more dissolved solutes inside the gummy bear.

Explanation:

The sugary gummy bear has more solutes as compared to the water in which it is being soaked. When a sugary gummy bear is placed in water, water enters the gummy bear through osmosis as water tends to move to the place where there are more solutes. The sugar gummy bear has more solutes. So, the gummy bear  expands and increases in size due to the entrance of water into it.
