Explain how and why tube 1 and tube 2 would look different after one hour

Question

A student set up an experiment to investigate osmosis.

The student used visking tubing which is a partially permeable membrane.

The student put 25cm3 of 20% sucrose solution into visking tube 1 and 25cm3 of distilled water into visking tube 2.

Both tubes were placed in a 5% sucrose solution and left for 1 hour.

Answer 1

Tube 1 would swell and become larger and tube 2 would stay tge same. The reason for this is that because of osmosy, water will enter tube 2 in order to dilute the sucrose.
