Question

A glucose (C6H12O6) solution and a salt (NaCl) solution, both of the same molar concentration, are separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Which of the following will occur as the two solutions approach equilibrium? 

          (A) There will be a net flow of water molecules from the glucose into the salt solution.

          (B) There will be a net flow of water molecules from the salt into the glucose solution.

          (C) There will be a net flow of the Na+ and Cl ions into the glucose solution.

          (D) There will be no net flow of water molecules solute particles across the membrane because both solutions have the same concentration.
