Two beakers one containing 20mL of a `0.05M` aqueous solution of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte and the other, the same volume of `0.03M` aqueous solution of NaCl, are placed side by side in a closed encloser. What are the volumes in the two beakers when equilibrium is attained.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation of two beakers containing different solutions and understand how they will reach equilibrium.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Solutions**:
- Beaker 1: Contains 20 mL of a 0.05 M solution of a non-volatile, nonelectrolyte.
- Beaker 2: Contains 20 mL of a 0.03 M solution of NaCl (which is a volatile solute due to its ionic nature).
