Question

a membrane bag contains a 10% salt solution. it is placed in a beaker of 20% salt solution. what will happen to the volume of the bag as water moves by osmosis? multiple choice it will swell as water moves into the bag. it will shrink as water moves out of the bag.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of lower solute concentration (10% salt in the bag) to an area of higher solute concentration (20% salt in the beaker). So water will move out of the bag.

Answer:

It will shrink as water moves out of the bag.
