The solutions in the two arms of this u-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose. side a is half-filled with a solution of 2 m sucrose and 1 m glucose. side b is half-filled with 1 m sucrose and 2 m glucose. initially, the liquid levels on both sides are equal. initially, in terms of tonicity, the solution in side a with respect to that in side b is

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

intensive property is the physical property which does not depend on the size of system or amount of material present in system.

for example, color, density, melting point, boiling point etc are all intensive properties.

thus, we can conclude that the boiling point and color of a substance are both examples of intensive properties because they do not depend on the amount of matter in the sample.
