At Equilibrium the Volume in Compartment B Is Greater Than

question 54

Multiple Choice

At equilibrium the volume in compartment B is greater than the volume in compartment A.In which initial situation would this be achieved?

• A)There is a 5% glucose solution in compartment A and a 15% glucose solution in compartment B.The membrane (separating the beaker into compartments A and B) is impermeable to the solute and permeable to the solvent.
• B)There is a 15% glucose solution in compartment A and a 5% glucose solution in compartment B.The membrane (separating the beaker into compartments A and B) is permeable to water and impermeable to glucose.
• C)There is a 15% glucose solution in compartment A and a 15% glucose solution in compartment B.The membrane (separating the beaker into compartments A and B) is permeable to both solute and solvent.
• D)There is a 25% glucose solution in compartment A and a 5% glucose solution in compartment B.The membrane (separating the beaker into compartments A and B) is permeable to solvent but impermeable to glucose.

Definitions:

Five-number Summary

A descriptive statistic that provides a quick overview of a dataset through five key numbers: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

Symmetric

A characteristic of an object or distribution in which it is identical in size, form, and arrangement on both sides of a dividing line or plane.

First Quartile

The middle number between the smallest number and the median of the dataset, dividing the data set into lower 25% and upper 75%.

Percentile

A measure that indicates the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group falls.
