Question

Study the given figure carefully. In which direction the net movement of water will take place? *

* From solution 1 to solution 2
* From solution 2 to solution 1
* Both (A) and (B)
* No movement will take place

Choose the correct answer

Answer 1

Answer:

from solution 1 to 2

hope it helps

Answer 2

The correct option is 'From solution 1 to solution 2

• Water will move from solution 1 to solution 2 until the concentration of solute in both the beaker is equal.
• In the above figure solution, 1 contains is a solution containing a high concentration of water molecules and solution 2 is a concentrated solution containing a low concentration of wanted molecules.
• The two containers are separated by a semi-permeable membrane. It is a type of membrane which allows the movement of some substances to pass through while blocking others.
• This phenomenon of movement of solvent from a less concentrated solution to high concentrated solution across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis.
• In osmosis, The solvent will continue to migrate until equilibrium in concentration is achieved.
• This movement of the solvent is also known as down the concentration gradient.
• In a dilute concentration, it is more likely that the water molecules will collide with a semi-permeable membrane and pass through it as compared to water molecules present in a concentrated solution which has fewer molecules of water.

Hence the net movement of water will be from solution 1 to solution 2.
