You have a U-shaped tube with a selectively permeable membrane that allows water to pass but not solutes. On the left side of the tube you have a 40% NaCl solution and on the right a 15% NaCl solution.

The NaCl in this example is considered the __________.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Soulte

Explanation:

  • The compund which is in smaller amount in solution is considered as solute.
  • NaCL is soulte and water is the solvent in the solution.
  • The water moves from an area of higher potential to lower potential.
  • The greater the solute in the solvent the lower the potential will be.
  • 40% NaCL have greater solute than 15% NaCL, So the water will move from left side towards the right side of tube.
