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.

Which of the following covalent bonds is the most polar?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

D.) H-O

Explanation:

Polarity is determined based on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. The general trend is that the atoms in the top-right corner of the periodic table are the most electronegative.

A.) is incorrect because H-H has no electronegativity difference, making it nonpolar.

B.) and C.) are incorrect because their electronegativity differences are not the greatest.

D.) is correct because the electronegativity difference between the H and O is the greatest.
