Question

the volume on the left is two times as large as 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

Explanation:

Diffusion occurs from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration to reach equilibrium. The left - hand side has a higher concentration of solute particles per unit volume initially. To reach equilibrium, more solute particles will move from the left (higher concentration) to the right (lower concentration).

Answer:

For the solute particles to reach equilibrium, more particles will move across the membrane to the right than to the left.
