Question

Two liquids X and Y are separated by a semipermeable membrane and if liquid flows from X to Y,it indicates that

Answer 1

If two solutions of different solute concentration are seperated by SPM, then the process of osmosis takes place. During osmosis, Solute particles move through small pores from their higher to lower concentration.

Here given that , liquid flows from X to Y. X have higher solute concentration than Y. Or X is hypotonic with respect to Y.
