Four U tubes each have distilled water in the right arm, a solution in the left arm, and a semipermeable membrane between arms. (a) If the solute is KCl, which solution is most concentrated?

Respuesta :

The solution in tube B is the most concentrated due to osmosis.

We know that the most concentrated solutions (for KCl, K+, and Cl-) ought to include more charged particles. By osmosis, the high solute concentration pulls the water in.

As a result, the right side of the U-tube (C and D) has the lowest water level. However, compared to the right side tubes, the left side tube (A, B) has a more concentrated solution (C, D).

As a result, the solution in tube B is the most concentrated.

What is osmosis?

  • Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane, in the direction that tends to balance the solute concentrations on the two sides, from a region of high water potential (region of lower solute concentration) to a region of low water potential (region of higher solute concentration).
  • Osmosis can also refer to a physical procedure that separates two solutions with various concentrations by allowing any solvent to pass through a membrane that is selectively permeable (permeable to the solvent but not the solute).
