1. Because the osmotic pressures of a solution depend on solute concentration, osmotic water movements are interrelated with solute behavior. Make a diagram to show the direction of water and solutes. Decide and then explain why you concluded the following statements are true or false.
a) If glucose concentrations in solution A and B separated by a semi permeable membrane are the same, the net movement of water will be zero.
b) If glucose concentration in solution A is half that of solution B, twice as much water will leave solution B compared to that from solution A.
c) The osmotic pressure of a 2M solution of urea is the same as that of a 1M solution of potassium chloride.
d) To make a 5 milliosmolar solution of sodium sulfate, 50g of the salt are placed in a liter of water.
