Question

A cup is divided into equal left and right halves by a membrane. A 75% glucose solution is added to the left side. A 10% glucose solution is added to the right side. Glucose cannot cross the membrane. Right after the glucose solutions are added to the cup, what will happen?

Answer 1

Answer: The water will pass from 10% glucose to 75% glucose.

Explanation:

concentration wise, the solution from higher concentration will move towards the lower concentration.75% glucose has 75 of glucose and 25 of water similarly  10% glucose has 10 of glucose but 90 of water and as a result the glucose cannot pass but the water will pass from 90 towards 25.the movement may continue till the concentration of water on either sides becomes equal.
