In thistle funnel experiment, what will happen if sugar is added to beaker after the stoppage of osmosis
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Level of solution in thistle funnel lowers
Osmotic pressure is the pressure applied to stop the process of osmosis. Pure solvent does not contain a little amount of solute also.The solution is the mixture of solute and solvent so it contains less amount of water as compared to the pure solvent so water will move from pure solvent to solution. As towards solution osmosis is maximum so, osmotic pressure will also be greater than solvent.So, the correct answer is 'Level of the solution in thistle funnel lowers'.

The given figure shows demonstration of osmosis. A thistle funnel is filled with sucrose solution and kept inverted in a beaker containing water. In case sucrose diffuses out through the membrane, will this equilibrium be ever reached? Join BYJU'S Learning Program
