When two solvents are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water flows from low solute concentrations to high solute concentrations. What would happen if external pressure is applied to the solution with higher solute concentration? A) The semi-permeable membrane will lose its activity. B) Water will stop flowing across the semi-permeable membrane. C) Water will flow more freely across the semi-permeable membrane. D) The concentration of solute will become equal on both sides of the membrane.

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "D) The concentration of solute will become equal on both sides of the membrane." The event that happen if external pressure is applied to the solution with higher solute concentration is that D) The concentration of solute will become equal on both sides of the membrane.
