Question

the volume on the left is half 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 and equilibrium - solute particles move from higher to lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. At equilibrium, the net movement is zero as the same number of particles move in each direction across the membrane.

Answer:

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