Question

7. Study the experimental set up in figure and then
answer the questions that follow:
(a) What phenomenon is being studied by this set up?
(b) Explain the phenomenon mentioned in (a) above
(c) What is meant by Semipermeable membrane'?
(d) What will you observe in the set up after about half a
hour ? Give a reason for your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

a) osmosis

b) diffusion of water molecule from the less concentrated solution to the high concentrated solutions by semipermeable membrane.

c) The membrane help the diffusion of the solvent.

d) the U shape tube have equal concentration of the sucrose solution in both A and B side.

reason:- B side of tube contain less concentrated solution and A side of tube contain high concentration of solution so water will move from a B side to A side i.e. from low concentrated solution to high concentrated solution through semipermeable membrane till the equilibrium.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) osmosis

b) Diffusion
