Two chambers A & Bm separated by a semipermeable membrane, contain respectively 1M glucose solution and 2M glucose solution. In this condition net water movement is form A to B. If solution os chamber B is replaced by 1M NaCl solution then:

A

net water movement will remain same i.e.A to B

B

their will be no net water movement because bith the solution A and B will have same concentration

C

net water movement will become B to A

D

semipermeable membrane will not function properly because both the solutions A and B will have different solutes

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation step by step, focusing on the concepts of osmolarity and water movement across a semipermeable membrane. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Conditions**: - Chamber A contains a 1M glucose solution. - Chamber B contains a 2M glucose solution. - Since the concentration of solute (glucose) is higher in Chamber B, water will move from Chamber A (lower solute concentration) to Chamber B (higher solute concentration) due to osmosis. **Hint**: Remember that water moves from areas of low solute concentration to areas of high solute concentration. 2. **Replacing the Solution in Chamber B**: - The solution in Chamber B is replaced with a 1M NaCl solution. - NaCl dissociates into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions in solution, effectively doubling the number of particles in the solution. **Hint**: Consider how solutes dissociate in solution when calculating osmolarity. 3. **Calculating Osmolarity**: - For the 1M glucose solution in Chamber A, the osmolarity is 1 osmolar (since glucose does not dissociate). - For the 1M NaCl solution in Chamber B, the osmolarity is 2 osmolar (1M Na⁺ + 1M Cl⁻ = 2 osmolar). **Hint**: Osmolarity is the total concentration of solute particles in a solution. 4. **Determining Water Movement**: - Since the osmolarity in Chamber A (1 osmolar) is less than that in Chamber B (2 osmolar), water will move from Chamber A to Chamber B. - This movement occurs because water moves from areas of lower osmolarity to areas of higher osmolarity. **Hint**: Water movement is influenced by osmolarity, not just solute concentration. 5. **Conclusion**: - The net water movement will remain the same, which is from Chamber A to Chamber B. ### Final Answer: The net water movement will remain the same, that is, from Chamber A to Chamber B.
