Answer» Two chambers, $A$ and $B$ , containing solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane. $(a)$ Solution of which chamber has a lower water potential? $(b)$ Solution of which chamber has a lower solute potential? $(c)$ In which direction will osmosis occur? $(d)$ Which solution has a higher solute potential? $(e)$ At equilibrium which chamber will have lower water potential? $(f)$ If one chamber has a $Ψ$ of $2000 k P a$ , and the other $1000 k P a$ , which is the chamber that has the higher $Ψ$ ? $(g)$ What will be the direction of the movement of water when two solutions with $Ψ_{w} = 0.2 M P a$ and $Ψ_{w} = 0.1 M P a$ are separated by a selectively permeable membrane?
