If 0.1 molar solution of glucose is separated from 0.1 molar solution of cane sugar by a semipermeab — Solutions and Colligative Properties Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Both glucose and cane sugar are non-electrolytes (van 't Hoff factor i = 1). Since they are present at the same molar concentration (0.1 M), their solutions have identical osmotic pressures (they are isotonic). Therefore, there is no chemical potential gradient for the solvent, resulting in no net movement of water.
