In the experiment showing osmosis through a semipermeable membrane, 3 corn syrup mixtures are used.  If equal volumes of two solutions (10% corn syrup and 30% corn syrup) were placed in two beakers that were separated by a semipermeable membrane, permeable only to water, and let sit for 1 hour, what would be the expected concentration/s of the two solutions at the end of the time period?  Explain using solute concentration, water concentration etc.

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
