Imagine a U-shaped tube with a selectively permeable membrane separating two solutions. Side A contains a 0.2M sucrose solution, and Side B contains a 0.1M NaCl solution. Initially, the levels are equal. Considering the dissociation of NaCl and the non-penetrating nature of sucrose and NaCl, which side will have a higher level at equilibrium?
Side A
Side B
The levels will remain equal
