When two chambers are separated by a membrane permeable to water but not solute, if water is free to move in either direction without limitation or pressure, then water will move until the concentration of solute on both sides of the chamber is equal move until there is no water on the dilute side move until there is no water on the concentrated side move until the concentration of water on both sides of the chamber is equal

- move until the concentration of solute on both sides of the chamber is equal
- move until there is no water on the dilute side
- move until there is no water on the concentrated side
- move until the concentration of water on both sides of the chamber is equal
Introduction
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. It may exist in any phase such as solid, liquid or gaseous. A solution consists of a solute and solvent. The solute is the substance that is in small quantities that is dissolved in the large quantities of solvent. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in solvent is called its solubility. For solutions with components in the same phase, the substances present in lower concentration are solutes, while the substance present in highest abundance is the solvent. A solvent is a substance that is present in higher quantity.
Transport of solute across any biological membrane is very essential for all life forms. Such a transport is highly regulated in eukaryotes and involves transport proteins to serve the purpose.
