Question

EC2. The solutions in the two arms of this U-tube (totaling 1.5L) are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose. Side A is half-filled with a solution of 2 M sucrose and 1 M glucose. Side B is half-filed with 1 M sucrose and 2 M glucose. Initially, the liquid levels on both sides are equal. Draw the system at equilibrium (after osmosis has taken place) indicating the level and volume of the solution on each side of the tube as well as the glucose and sucrose concentrations in M and the number of moles of each solute on each side. indicate which direction, if any, each substance (water, glucose, sucrose) moves.

Explanation / Answer

glucose flows from B to A.

at equlibrium A-2M sucrose, 1.5M glucose. B-1M sucrose 1.5M glucose
