two solutions are separated by a selectively permeable membrane. on side a, there is a solution composed of 20% protein and 80% water. on side b, the solution is 100% water. as osmosis occurs, what will happen to the solution on side a?



Answer :

On osmosis the solution on side a will be more diluted and a decrease in solute potential will take place.

What is osmosis and what will happen to the solution of side a on osmosis?

  1. Osmosis is the flow of liquid or substances from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.
  2. Osmosis takes place on context of two potentials , namely solute potential and solvent potential.
  3. Solute potential is the increase in the amount of solute in the solution over its solvent part.
  4. When osmosis took place in a selectively permeable separated solution because of 100% of water on side b there would be a flow of water from side b to side a .
  5. And due to the greater concentration of solute on side a, there would be a flow of solute from side a to side b.
