Two solutions A and B are separated by a membrane, which is permeable to water but not salts. Solution A is a 2% NaCl solution, while solution B is a 3% NaCl solution. Which will occur?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Water of solution A will go through membrane until solution B.

Explanation:

That phenomenon occurs by mass transfer.

Mass transfer is the movement from a location to another that occurs when you have mass gradient. In a membrane with different concentration solutions the system will try to equal both concentrations.

In the problem, Solution B is more concentrated than A. Thus, water will transport from solution A to solution B increasing concentration of A and decreasing concentration of B until the system stay in equilibrium.
