B. The unknown solution had the lower concentration.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the molecules of the solvent has a tendency to move through a membrane which is semipermeable from lower concentrated side to the higher concentration side, so that the concentrations on both sides of the membrane must be equal.
So the unknown solution may have lesser concentration than the isotonic solution so that molecules of that solution move from less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, so its level drops.
Answer:
The correct answer is that both molecular motion, pressure and temperature increase as volume reduces.
Explanation:
A reduction in volume changes the molecular motion, temperature and pressure of the system. When the volume of the container decreases, this causes the pressure to increase, the temperature to increase and the molecular motion to increase. This is because a liquid and a solid are incompressible, so by reducing the volume of a gas, the molecules increase their movement as the temperature of the system increases, which is due to the increased pressure applied to reduce the volume of the system.
Have a nice day!
