A 0.1 M solution of glucose (molecular ...

A `0.1 M` solution of glucose (molecular weight `180 g "mol"^(-1))` and a `0.1 M` solution of urea (molecular weight 60 g `"mol"^(-1))` are placed on the two sides of a semi-permeable membrane to equal heights. In this context, which of the following statements is correct?
a. Glucose will flow across the membrane into the urea solution.
b. Urea will flow across the membrane into the glucose solution.
c. Water will flow across the membrane from the urea solution into the glucose solution.
d. There will be no net movement across the membrane.

A

Glucose will flow across the membrane into the urea solution

B

Urea will flow across the membrane into the glucose solutionq

C

Water will flow across the membrane from the urea solution into the glucose solution

D

There will be no net movement across the membrane

0.1 M Glucose and 0.1 M Urea
Since both the solutions have same concentrations, there will be no net movement of water molecules across the membrane.
