The beaker in the diagram below has a selectively permeable membrane separating two solutions. assume that both water and salt can pass freely through the membrane. when equilibrium is reached, will the fluid levels be the same as they are now? explain.

Answer

The movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis. A substance that moves by passive transport tends to move away from the area where it is more concentrated. Diffusion and osmosis both regard the dispersion of particles. By definition, water is the only substance that undergoes osmosis.
