Consider an osmotic system in which two vessels,


Consider an osmotic system in which two vessels, A and B, of equal volume are joined by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose. At the beginning of your experiment the contents of vessel A are 0.2 M glucose and 0.1 M sucrose, while vessel B contains 0.1 M glucose and 0.3 M sucrose. Which of the following statements will be true in this system after several hours?

A. Both the volume of B and the concentration of glucose in B will increase.

B.Both the volume of B and the concentration of sucrose in B will increase.

C.The volume of A will increase.

D.The volume of A will decrease and the concentration of sucrose in A will increase.

E.The volumes of A and B will change with time, but the concentration of glucose will remain constant in vessel A.
