Question

I have a solution of sugar water at a concentration of 0.55 molar. place this sugar water into a semi-permeable bag and then seal the bag. I place the bag holding the sugar solution into a large beaker containing 0.35 molar sugar water. What is going to happen? O The solutions are isotonic, and while water will move into and out of the bag, it will do so at the same rate. No change. The solution in the beaker is hypertonic. Water will flow out of the bag and shrink, until the concentrations in both solutions are the same. The solution in the beaker is hypotonic. Water will flow out of the bag and shrink, until the concentrations in both solutions are the same. The solution in the beaker is hypotonic. Water will flow into the bag until it bursts, or concentrations are matched

Explanation / Answer

Ans . d. The solution in the beaker is hypotonic . Water will flow into the bag until it bursts, or concentrations are matched.

The molarity of the solution in beaker is less as compared to the one present in the bag. Hence water flows from high concentration of water to that of low concentration of water, and the process is called as osmosis.
