The set-up below shows two aqueous solutions separated by a semi- permeable membrane. The left compartment contains a solution of 100 mM (milli-molar) NaCl and the right compartment contains a 100 mM solution of glucose. Initially the compartments are separated by a closed semipermeable membrane. Which of the following statements below is true? Membrane "closed" 100 mM glucose (MW 180) 100 mM NaCI (MW 58)

Question
The set-up below shows two aqueous
solutions separated by a semi-
permeable membrane. The left
compartment contains a solution of
100 mM (milli-molar) NaCl and the
right compartment contains a 100 mM
solution of glucose. Initially the
compartments are separated by a
closed semipermeable membrane.
Which of the following statements
below is true?
Membrane "closed"
100 mM glucose
(MW 180)
100 mM NaCI
(MW 58)

The water level in both compartments
remains the same and NaCl moves from
the left compartment to the right
compartment
O The water level in both compartments
remains the same and glucose moves
from the right compartment to the left
compartment
The water level in both compartments
remains the same and there is no
movement of either NaCl or glucose.
O Water will flow toward the right
compartment. Thelevel of liquid in the
right compartment rises.
Water will flow towards the left
compartment. The level of liquid in the
left compartment rises.
