Question

The solutions in the two arms of this U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose. Side A is half-filled with a solution of 2 M sucrose and 1 M glucose. Side B is half-filled with 1 M sucrose and 2 M glucose. Initially, the liquid levels on both sides are equal Sucrose 1 M Sucrose- 2 M Glucose 1 M Glucose 2 M When the system illustrated above reaches equilibrium, the sugar concentrations on both sides of the U-tube will be 1 M sucrose, 1 M glucose 2 M sucrose, 1 M glucose 1 M sucrose, 2 M glucose 1.5 M sucrose, 1.5 M glucose Submit Request Answer

Explanation / Answer

During equilibrium attained, movement of one molecule to the other side might happen but the overall concentration might not change in the entire tube as the volume of water is constant.

Therefore molarity of sugar =1*V+2*V/2V =1.5 M

Molarity of glucose =1*V+2*V/2V = 1.5M

Therefore (D) 1.5M sucrose, 1.5M glucose is the answer
