Question

In case sucrose diffuses out through the membrane, will the equilibrium be ever reached?

Answer 1

1. An equilibrium state of a system is considered when both of the chambers are having the same water potential.​
2. In case if sucrose starts to diffuse out then it will move from higher concentration to lower concentration till a state of equilibrium is reached.
3. In case sucrose diffuse out through the membrane(from higher concentration to the lower concentration), the equilibrium also get attained because there is a movement of both the solute and solvent in opposite directions.
4. The diffusion of sucrose molecule would not or least result in the rise of solutions level.
