A Tube with a Membrane Covering the Bottom Is Placed

question 38

Multiple Choice

A tube with a membrane covering the bottom is placed in a beaker. The membrane allows water to flow through but not salt or glucose. If the tube contains an aqueous solution with4% salt and 20% glucose and the beaker contains an aqueous solution with 12% salt and 6% glucose, what would happen to the level of the water in the tube?

• A) The level of the solution in the tube would rise because there are more dissolved solutes present in the beaker than in the tube.
• B) The level of the solution in the tube would lower because the glucose and salt would move into the tube.
• C) The level of the solution in the tube would rise because there are more dissolved solutes in the tube than the beaker.
• D) The level of the solution would not change as the membrane prohibits any exchange between the tube and the beaker.
• E) The level of solution in the tube would not change because the solute levels are equal on both sides.
