Question
$\text{FeCl}_3$ solution (side X) on reaction with $\text{K}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]$ (side Y) in aqueous solution gives blue colour. These are separated by a semipermeable membrane as shown. Due to osmosis, there is
Answer: D
💡 Solution & Explanation
A semipermeable membrane only allows the flow of solvent molecules (water). The solute ions ($\text{Fe}^{3+}$ and $[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]^{4-}$) cannot cross the membrane, so they will not mix and undergo the chemical reaction to form Prussian blue. Therefore, correct answer is D.
