Question

anana garcia apontes practice m.2 diffusion across membranes get 4 correct in a row the volume on the left is a third of the volume on the right. which of the following statements describes how the solution will change over time? for the solute particles to reach equilibrium, more particles will move across the membrane to the left than to the right. for the solute particles to reach equilibrium, more particles will move across the membrane to the right than to the left. because the solute particles have reached equilibrium, the same number of particles will move across the membrane in each direction.

Explanation:

In diffusion, at equilibrium, the net movement of solute particles stops and the same number of particles move across the membrane in each direction. This is because there is no longer a concentration - gradient driving a net movement in one direction.

Answer:

Because the solute particles have reached equilibrium, the same number of particles will move across the membrane in each direction.
