If Solution a Has a Higher Concentration of Solute Particles

Multiple Choice

If solution A has a higher concentration of solute particles than solution B and if these solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane, then there will be a net movement of water

A) into solution B since B has a lower osmotic pressure than solution A
B) into solution B since B will have a higher hydrostatic pressure than solution A
C) into solution B since the osmolarity of B is less than that in solution A
D) into solution A since B has a higher osmotic pressure than solution A
E) into solution A since A has a lower concentration of water than solution B
