An eager AP Biology student interested in studying osmosis and the movement of water in solutions took a dialysis bag containing a 0.5 M solution and placed it into a beaker containing a 0.6 M solution. After the bag has been sitting in the beaker for a while, what would you expect to have happened to the bag?

There will have been a net flow of water out of the bag, causing it to decrease in size.

There will be have been a net flow of water into the bag, causing it to swell in size.

The bag will be the exact same size because no water will have moved at all.

The solute will have moved out of the dialysis bag into the beaker.
