In which direction and why will osmosis occur if a 15% sugar solution is separated from a 25% sugar solution by a selectively permeable membrane?

Sagot :

Answer:

From the 25% to the 15%.

Explanation:

Osmosis will occur from a high concentration to a lower concentration until an equilibrium is achieved.

   

Osmosis will occur from 25% to 15%.

  • Semi permeable membrane is freely permeable to water, but is impermeable to solute.
  • When the membrane separates pure water on the right from solution on the left, water moves to the solution side.
  • This water flow is osmosis.

What is osmosis?

  • The selective passage of solvent molecules through a semi permeable membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated one.
  • A semi permeable membrane allows the passage of solvent molecules but blocks the passage of solute molecules.
  • The movement of water by osmosis through cell membranes is essential for all physiological processes.
