Two NaCl solutions, Solution A and Solution B, are separated by a selectively permeable membrane. You observe that the movement of solvent is from Solution B to Solution A. Which solution initially had the higher salt concentration?
Question 2 options:
a)
solution A
b)
solution B
c)
Neither
The net diffusion of a solvent, across a semi-permeable membrane, from low to high solute concentration, is the precise definition of:
simple diffusion
facilitated diffusion
active transport
passive transport
osmosis
Soft contact lenses are made from hydrogels, which make them soft and flexible. It is important to
clean them daily using a sterile, isotonic cleaning solution. The concentration of solutes in the
cleaning solution is the same as the concentration of the hydrogel in the contact lens. What would
happen if instead of an isotonic cleaning solution, soft contact lenses are cleaned with water?
(A) The soft contact lenses will shrink because it will remove too much water by osmosis.
B The soft contact lenses will shrink because too much water is absorbed by osmosis.
The soft contact lenses will swell and change shape because too much water is absorbed
by osmosis.
The soft contact lenses will swell and change shape because too much water is removed by
osmosis.
