Answer 1

Answer:

In order to reach equilibrium, water will move outside the cell to reach equilibrium. A cell tends to lose or gain water in order to reach equilibrium.

If there are more number of solutes outside the cell, then the water will move out of the cell in order to maintain equilibrium. On the other hand, if there are more number of solutes inside the cell then the water will move inside the cell to maintain equilibrium.
