Question

a dialysis tube with a 10% internal salt concentration is put in a beaker of 2% salt water. the beaker is a(n) __________ environment, and the mass of the dialysis tube will __________.

Explanation:

The dialysis tube has a 10% salt concentration and is placed in a beaker with 2% salt - water. Since the salt concentration inside the tube is higher than in the beaker, the beaker is a hypotonic environment. In a hypotonic environment, water will move into the dialysis tube by osmosis, causing an increase in the mass of the dialysis tube.

Answer:

hypotonic, increase
