Part A
(Figure 1) shows two compartments separated by a
semipermeable membrane that is permeable to the
solvent water but not to the solute. The concentration of
the solute is 135 mM on the right side of the membrane
and 70 mM on the left side.
What is the height difference h between the two water surfaces at a temperature of 20°C?

Suppose that the membrane is suddenly made permeable to the solute, as can happen in cells when voltage-gated
ion channels open, and that the diffusion constant for the solute through the membrane is 5.0 x 10-10 m²/s. What
is the initial rate of flow of the solute in molecules/s through 10 µm² of a 7.0-nm-thick membrane? These values
are comparable to the surface area and thickness of a cell membrane.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
