Two solutions with similar solute concentrations are separated by a membrane that only water can pass through. One solution (B) is of greater volume than the other (A). What do you think will happen over time? Briefly explain your reasoning in 1-2 sentences including the solute concentration (increase/decrease) and final volume level (higher /tower) for A vs. B in your answer

Respuesta :

If a container is divided into two compartments by membrane, both compartments are filled with a solution A an B having similar solute concentration, and a solution B is having higher volume. As the solutions are of same concentration there is no osmosis between two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane, they are said to be isotonic.

In this situation, water can freely pass the membrane without affecting the solute concentration on either side. Thus over a time both solution A and B will have no change in solute concentration and the level of solution B will be equilibrated with solution A.
