Question
2. A membrane that is permeable to Na+ but not Cl or
Volt meter
water separates two compartments (see figure). Side
A is filled with 1000 mOsM NaCl and side B is filled
with 10 mOsM NaCl. Electrodes from a voltmeter
B
are placed in each compartment and side A is set as
ground (0 mV).
When the system comes to equilibrium:
10 mosM
Naci
1000 mOsM
NaCI
a) the concentration of Na+ in side B is
compared to its starting value.
b) the Cl concentration on side A is (circle one)
greater than
less than
equal to the Cl
concentration on side B.
c) the voltmeter shows that side B is
compared to side A.
