Question

There is a liquid capsule inside a cup full of liquid. The cup full of liquid has salt in it and the liquid capsule has no salt in it. In which direction will the solvent flow?

Answer 1

From the capsule into the cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the liquid in the cup is more concentrated than that in the capsule, the solvent will move from the capsule to the cup through osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules from a less concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane.
