Question

If you wanted water to flow out of a tubing piece filled with a 50% solution, what would the minimum concentration of the beaker solution need to be? explain your answer using scientific evidence.

Answer 1

If you want water to flow out of the tubing piece filled with a 50% solution, the minimum concentration of the solution in the beaker must be more than 50%. This is because, water can only flow out of the tubing piece if the concentration of the water inside the beaker is greater than that of the tubing piece; the water will move from the region of low concentration to the region of high concentration.
