Cell 'A' with O.P = 10 atm and T.P. = 5 atm is in contact with a cell ' B ' having O . P = 15 atm and T. P = 12 atm . The flow of water will be :

A

From A to B

B

Equal flow

C

From B to A

D

No flow

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In A, D.P.D. = 5 atm while in B it is 3 atm. The flow of water is from lower D.P.D. to higher D.P.D across a semipermeable membrane.
