If you place a dialysis tubing permeable only to water filled with 10% sucrose solution into a beaker filled with a 30% solution of sucrose, you would expect for the water molecules from the 10% solution to pass through the membrane and dilute the 30% solution until the concentration in both solutions are equal. Thus, in equilibrium.
