MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    Two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane allowing only water to flow through. In one solution, 1 mole of CaCl2 is added while in the other solution, 1 mole of NaCl is added. Water will flow from the NaCl solution into the CaCl2 solution because:

     

    A

    the calcium ion is larger than the sodium ion.

    B

    there are more moles of ions in the CaCl2 solution than in the NaCl solution.

    C

    calcium is divalent while sodium is monovalent.

    D

    calcium is more electropositive and has a stronger affinity for water.
