Below is a diagram of two solutions separated by a water-permeable membrane. Label the tonicity of each solution relative to each other (and show your calculations) and draw an arrow indicating the direction of water movement. D<sub>LiCl</sub> = 2.07 g/mL

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram depicts two compartments separated by a water-permeable membrane. 

- The left compartment contains a solution of 15% v/v LiCl.
- The right compartment contains a 4 M LiCl solution.

**Explanation:**

1. **Calculate the concentration in grams/L for each solution:**

   - **15% v/v LiCl:**
     - Assume 100 mL of solution, which contains 15 mL of LiCl.
     - Convert volume to mass using the density, D<sub>LiCl</sub> = 2.07 g/mL:
       \[
       \text{Mass of LiCl in 15% v/v solution} = 15 \, \text{mL} \times 2.07 \, \text{g/mL} = 31.05 \, \text{g}
       \]
     - Convert to g/L (assuming 100 mL solution is used as standard):
       \[
       \text{Concentration} = \frac{31.05 \, \text{g}}{0.1 \, \text{L}} = 310.5 \, \text{g/L}
       \]

   - **4 M LiCl:**
     - Molar mass of LiCl = approximately 42.39 g/mol.
     - Concentration in grams/L:
       \[
       \text{4 M LiCl} = 4 \times 42.39 \, \text{g/mol} = 169.56 \, \text{g/L}
       \]

2. **Compare concentrations to determine tonicity:**

   - 15% v/v LiCl = 310.5 g/L
   - 4 M LiCl = 169.56 g/L

   Since 310.5 g/L (15% v/v) > 169.56 g/L (4 M), the 15% v/v solution is hypertonic relative to the 4 M solution.

3. **Indicate direction of water movement:**

   Water will move from the
