A student soaked 10 g of raisins in 50 mL of distilled water in two beakers A and B each. She maintained beaker A at 25°C and beaker B at 50°C. After an hour, the percentage of water absorbed will be
(1) the same in both A and B
(2) more in A than in B
(3) more in B than in A
(4) exactly twice in B than in A

The percentage of water absorbed will be more in B than A since B (40 degree Celcius) is maintained at a higher temperature than A (20 degree Celcius). With rise of temperature, endosmosis is quicker.

From the given options (4) is the correct answer. It is exactly twice in B than in A.

Explanation:-

Osmosis

The osmosis is the process in which solvent molecules move from the region of their higher concentration to the region of their lower concentration when both the solutions are separated by semi permeable membrane.

  1. The rate of osmosis is directly proportional to temperature .
  2. As we increase the temperature of system the rate of osmosis also increase at the same rate.

Therefore for the given question option 4 is the correct answer.
