If a $10 \%$ sucrose solution is separated from a $20 \%$ sucrose solution by a membrane impermeable to sucrose, in which direction will net movement of water occur?

Question

Accepted Answer

Sure, let's address the question about the net movement of water between a 10% and 20% sucrose solution separated by a membrane impermeable to sucrose. ∻Answer∻ ⚹ The net movement of water will occur from the 10% sucrose solution to the 20% sucrose solution. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Concentration Gradient: In this scenario, the 10% sucrose solution has a lower concentration of solute compared to the 20% sucrose solution. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Direction of Water Movement: Since the membrane is impermeable to sucrose, water will move from the 10% sucrose solution (lower solute concentration) to the 20% sucrose solution (higher solute concentration) to balance the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Osmosis ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. In this case, water will move from the 10% sucrose solution to the 20% sucrose solution. ⚹◊In which direction does water move in response to a hypertonic solution⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
