Question

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, solute particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. At equilibrium, the net movement of solute particles is zero, meaning 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.
