(i) What does the experiment demonstrate?
(ii) Define, the process demonstrated in the experiment.
(iii) What changes are observed after a few hours?
(iv) Give two examples of a semi-permeable membrane.
(v) Which limb of the U-tube contains a more concentrated sucrose solution, A or B?
(vi) Why is the membrane separating the two solutions labeled as semi-permeable membrane?
उत्तर
(i) The process of osmosis.
(ii) Osmosis is a special type of diffusion of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of their higher concentration to the lower concentration region, but not vice versa.
(iii) The level of water in column A will rise along with the passage of time and will ultimately stop when the concentration of water molecules are equal on both sides of the membrane.
(iv) (a) Parchment paper, (b) Egg membrane.
(v) Solution A.
(vi) It permits the movement of only water molecules to pass through it.
