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?

a. the salt does not have to move
b. equally between the capsule and the cup
c. from the larger cup to the capsule
d. from the capsule to the larger cup

Option 'C' is correct.

Explanation:

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.

The solvent will flow from the larger cup to the capsule due to movement from hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution.

According to given situation, liquid capsule is a hypotonic solution because the concentration of solute in liquid capsule is greater than outside of it.

As the liquid capsule does not have solute.

And cup full of liquid having salt has lower concentration, so, it is a hypertonic solution.

Since, Solvent move from from the larger cup to the capsule as the movement happens from hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution.

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.

b.have there own function.
