Question

There is a liquid capsule inside a cup full of liquid. The cup full of liquid has salt in it and the liquid capsule has no salt in it. In which direction will the solvent flow? A. The salt does not have to move B. From the capsule to the larger cup C. Equally between the capsule and the cup D. From the larger cup to the capsule

Answer 1

Because of permeation, the salt will flow equally between the capsule and the larger cup in its quantity.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The correct answer will be option- D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement of solute, as well as solvent particles, depends on the concentration gradient of solute particles. The permeability of the membrane allows the movement of solute particles from higher concentration to lower concentration through osmosis.

In the given question, the capsule contains low solute concentration while cup water contains high solute concentration. As the solute particles move from the low concentration (capsule) to high concentration (cup water) therefore the water will move from the cup water to the capsule.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
