Solution
The correct option is C Movement of solute will take place from A to B.
Movement of solvent molecules will take place from chamber A to B:
Osmosis is the movement of water or solvent molecules from its higher concentration to its lower concentration through the semipermeable membrane. Therefore in the figure shown water (solvent) will move from A (since there are less water molecules in B ) to B.
Movement of solute will take place from A to B:
In osmosis movement of solvent particles takes place as the semi permeable membrane will not allow solute particles to pass through. Thus movement of solute will not take place from A to B.
Presence of a semipermeable is a prerequisite for this process to occur:
Osmosis can take place only in the presence of a membrane that selectively allows substances to pass through. Therefore a semipermeable membrane is a prerequisite.
The direction and rate of osmosis depends on both the pressure gradient and concentration gradient:
The movement of water molecules takes place along the concentration gradient. If the concentration of the solutions, separated by a semipermeable membrane differ in a large amount then osmosis takes place faster. The direction of the movement of solvent particles is always from the dilute solution towards the concentrated solution.
Final answer: b. Movement of solute will take place from A to B
