A semipermeable membrane is placed between the following solutions.

Which solution will increase in volume?

The first stage of treatment at the reverse osmosis plant in Carlsbad, California, is to flow the water through rock, sand, and gravel as shown here. Would this step remove particulate matter? Would this step remove dissolved salts?

What would happen if the tubing with the yellow band was placed in a beaker of distilled water?

A red blood cell placed in pure water will swell because:

The first stage of treatment at a reverse osmosis plant is to flow the water through rock, sand, and gravel as shown here. Would this step remove particulate matter? Would this step remove dissolved salts?

Four U tubes each have distilled water in the right arm, a solution in the left arm, and a semipermeable membrane between the arms. If the solute is LiF, which solution is most concentrated?

Identify the direction of water flow between 2 solutions separates by semipermeable membrane, where are the solute particles.

If the fluid surrounding a patient's red blood cells is depleted in electrolytes, is crenation or hemolysis more likely to occur?

A solution with the same osmotic pressure as the blood is
