Question

Your Turn The following diagram represents a container with two solutions separated by a selectively permeable membrane. This container has not yet reached equilibrium. In each solution, glucose and fructose are solutes and water is the solvent Assume that all of these molecules (glucose, fructose, water) are able to pass through the pores in the membrane NOTE: Movement refers to the constant random movement of atoms or molecules, while net movement refers to the overall direction of their movement, or diffusion. 1 M glucose 0.1 M glucose 1 M fructose 1.5 M fructose

Explanation / Answer

1.Right to Left

2.Right to Left

3.Left to Right

4.Left to Right

5.Right to Left

6.Right to Left

7.Hypertonic

8.Hypotonic

EXPLANATION:

THIS QUESTION IS THE CASE OF OSMOSIS , WHICH STATES THAT MOVEMENT OF SOLUTE OCCUR FROM ITS LOW CONC. TO HIGH CONC. i.e GLUCOSE AND FRUCTOSE OR IN CASE OF SOLVENT IT IS FROM ITS HIGH CONC. TO ITS LOW CONC.i.e WATER.

AS IN THIS CASE LEFT SIDE HAS HIGH GLUCOSE CONC.1M AND LOW FRUCTOSE CONC.1M AND RIGHT SIDE HAVE LOW GLUCOSE CONC.0.1M AND HIGH FRUCTOSE CONC. 1.6M SO A CCORDING TO RULE OF OSMOSIS MOVEMENT AND NET MOVEMENT OF GLUCOSE IS RIGHT TO LEFT WHILE MOVEMENT OF FRUCTOSE IS LEFT TO RIGHT.

SIMILARLY AS TOTAL CONC. AT LEFT SIDE IS 2M(1M GLU+1M FRU) AND AT RIGHT SIDE 1.6M(0.M GLU+1.5M FRU) SO WATER CONC IS LOW AT LEFT AS COMPARE TO RIGHT SO IT MOVES FROM RIGHT TO LEFT FROM ITS HIGHER CONC TO LOW.

AND AS LEFT SIDE HAVE HIGHER CONC. OF SOLUTE THAN RIGHT SIDE IT COSIDER AS HYPERTONIC WHILE RIGHT SIDE COSIDER AS HYPOTONIC SOLUTION.
