Question

A U-Tube is divided into left and right compartments by a membrane that exclusively allows water to pass through but not any dissolved particles. Initially, the water level is equal on both sides. Then. the following compounds are added to each compartment:

Left compartment: 0.50 mol calcium nitrate and 1 mol of glucose(C₆H₁₁O₆)

Right compartment: 0.75 mol maltose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) and 0.75 mol AlPO₄

Select the one statement below that is TRUE.

a)Water will stop flowing across the membrane

b)The right side compartment will have a higher osmotic pressure

c)There will be no change in the water level on either side because water always flattens out

d)The water level on the right side will be higher

e)The water level on the left side will be higher
