Question

you have a balloon filled with an aqueous solution (0.5 m glucose). the balloon made of a selectively permeable membrane is permeable to water, but not glucose. you place the balloon in beakers with 1 m concentrations of glucose. explain the solution conditions in the beaker: hypotonic isotonic equilibrium hypertonic

Explanation:

Tonicity is determined by solute concentration. A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. Here, the beaker has 1 M glucose while the balloon has 0.5 M glucose. So the beaker solution has a higher solute (glucose) concentration.

Answer:

D. Hypertonic
