What happens when two different concentrations of sugar solutions are placed on opposite sides of a selectively permeable membrane in a container?

Answer 1

In this situation, osmosis will occur. This means that there will be a net (average) movement of water particles from the solution with the lowest concentration to the solution with the highest concentration. Remember that although the net movement is in this direction, the water particles move about randomly so some will also go in the other direction. Eventually, The concentrations will equal each other and there will be no net movement.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The solution with the lowest water potential, meaning the solution containing the most solute( sugar) will diffuse into the less concentrated solution. Until both soltions reach a state of equilibrium, or balance.

Answer 3

Water will move across the selectively permeable membrane towards the 20.

Answer 4

The higher concentrated solution flows down it's concentration gradient into the lower concentrated solution until the solutions are at equilibrium.

Answer 5

water passes from the solution of lower concentration of sugar to higher,ie,from the region of high water concentration to the lower.

Answer 6

There is no what**
