The diagram below shows a beaker with two compartments separated by a semipermeable membrane.
A beaker is shown with two compartments separated by a vertical structure labeled Membrane. The left side compartment is labeled X and the right side compartment is labeled Y. The solution inside both compartments is labeled 20 percent salt solution.
The membrane does not allow salt particles to pass through.
What will most likely be observed in the beaker?
Water level will rise in compartment X.
Water level will rise in compartment Y.
Water level remains same as water cannot pass through.
Water level remains same as there is no difference in the concentration gradient.
