In this system sucrose is a nonpermeating solute due to its large size, what were to happen if NaCl was used instead of sucrose to make the solutions placed in the osmometer (the dialysis tubing “cell”) ?
7.
How does the size of the dialysis tubing (the osmometer) impact the rate of osmosis?
8.
Why is water typically in equilibrium in cells while most solutes are not?
9.
What would happen if the osmometer were placed into very warm water?
