Question

A container is divided into two compartments
by a membrane that is fully permeable to water and small ions.
Water is added to one side of the membrane (side A), and a 5%
solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to the other (side B). In
which direction will water molecules move? In which direction will
sodium and chloride ions move? When the concentration is equal
on both sides, will diffusion stop?
