Respuesta :

The answer is
(4) 99% water
If the 97% water solution dialysis tube is placed in a 99% water solution, the concentration of the solute inside the dialysis tube is greater than the outside. To reach equilibrium, the water outside will enter the dialysis tube causing an increase in the weight of the tube.
