The figure shows a classic experiment that demonstrates the principle of osmosis. The left side of the U-tube is filled half-way with 10% red sugar water. Into the tube on the right, distilled water is poured until it is even with the red sugar water. A semi-permeable membrane is placed in the brown area. Predict what will happen in the U-tube after several hours.

Respuesta :

The left side of the tube will remain red, but rise in volume, as the right side of the tube falls in volume. The distilled water will dilute the sugar water.

Answer:

According to the figure elaborated here, when the left side of the tube that is filled with 10% red sugar water, and the right side of the tube filled with distilled water pour into it, then the left side of tube rise in volume but remain as red colored. But the right side of the tube will fall in volume and the sugar water will be diluted.

Osmosis is actually the a process by which molecules of a solvent lead to move through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated solution
