if a 0.15% protein solution and a 0.12% protein solution are separated by a semipermeable membrane, what will happen?

Water molecules will move across the semipermeable membrane from the 0.12% protein solution to the 0.15% protein solution in a process known as osmosis.

Explanation:

Due to the difference in the concentrations of the two solutions as well as the presence of a semipermeable membrane, a concentration gradient is setup. The 0.15% protein solutions contains more protein molecules than the 0.12% protein solution. Water molecules will move across the semipermeable membrane from the 0.12% protein solution to the 0.15% protein solution in a process known as osmosis.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration or higher concentration of water molecules to a region of higher solute concentration or lower concentration of water molecules until an equilibrium concentration is attained.

This is a passive process and is facilitated by the concentration gradient as well as a presence of a semipermeable membrane which allows only water molecules to move across it but not solute molecules.

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
