Solutions a and B Are Separated by a Semipermeable Membrane K+\mathrm{K}^{+}

Question 3

Multiple Choice

Solutions A and B are separated by a semipermeable membrane that is permeable to K+\mathrm{K}^{+} but not to Cl\mathrm{Cl}^{-} . Solution A is 100mM100 \mathrm{mM} KCl\mathrm{KCl} , and solution B\mathrm{B} is 1mMKCl1 \mathrm{mM} \mathrm{KCl} . Which of the following statements about solution A and solution B\mathrm{B} is true?


A) K+\mathrm{K}^{+} ions will diffuse from solution A to solution BB until the [K+]\left[\mathrm{K}^{+}\right] of both solutions is 50.5mM50.5 \mathrm{mM}
B) K+\mathrm{K}^{+} ions will diffuse from solution B\mathrm{B} to solution A until the [K+]\left[\mathrm{K}^{+}\right] of both solutions is 50.5mM50.5 \mathrm{mM}
C) KCl\mathrm{KCl} will diffuse from solution A\mathrm{A} to solution B\mathrm{B} until the [KCl][\mathrm{KCl}] of both solutions is 50.5mM50.5 \mathrm{mM}
D) K+\mathrm{K}^{+} will diffuse from solution A\mathrm{A} to solution B until a membrane potential develops with solution A negative with respect to solution B
E) K+\mathrm{K}^{+} will diffuse from solution A\mathrm{A} to solution B until a membrane potential develops with solution A positive with respect to solution B
