Complete question:

8. Compartments A and B are separated by a membrane that is permeable to K+ but not to Na+ or Cl-. At time zero, a solution of KCl is poured into compartment A and an equally concentrated solution of NaCl is poured into compartment B. Which would be true once equilibrium is reached?

A. The concentration of Na+ in A will be higher than it was at time zero.

B. Diffusion of K+ from A to B will be greater than the diffusion of K+ from B to A.

C. There will be a potential difference across the membrane, with side B negative relative to side A.

D. The electrical and diffusion potentials for K+ will be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

E. The concentration of Cl- will be higher in B than it was at time zero.

D. The electrical and diffusion potentials for K+ will be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from region of higher concentration to lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Since the k+ is the permeable membrane, the k+ ion in the KCl would move in equal magnitude and direction in the solution.

answer is a

explanation:

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
