b)solution of chamber a has lower solute potential than chamber b
c) solution of chamber b has lower solute potential than chamber a
d)both a) and c)

guys no spamming!!!!!!! pls say the answer with explanation
and no cut copy paste from websites!!!!!!!!!!help me friends

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution in chamber A has less number of solute molecules as compared to chamber B, implies it has more water molecules than chamber B. Solution in chamber B have more solute molecules compared to chamber A, implies it has less water molecules than chamber A.

Therefore chamber A has greater water potential and lower solute potential while chamber B has lower water potential and greater solute potential. So, the water molecules will move from their higher energy/potential to their lower energy or potential, that is, from chamber A to chamber B through semipermeable membrane as is called osmosis.

So, the first two statements are correct:

a) solution of chamber b has lower water potential than chamber a

b)solution of chamber a has lower solute potential than chamber b
