Casein is one of the most abundant proteins in milk. Which one of these compounds should NOT cause its denaturation if we add them to a glass of milk?

Diluted saline solution

How can a highly concentrated slay denature a protein?

Imagine that we vortex the tubes after adding critic acid to some egg whites. What would happen?

More lumps would have formed in less time

What do you expect would happen to the distilled water?
