Question
The solution in 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. After the system reaches equilibrium, what changes are observed? The water level is higher in side A than in side B. The water Level is unchanged. The molarity of glucose is higher in side A than in side B. The water Level is higher in side B than in side A.Explanation / Answer
c.The water level is higher in side A than in side B.
