The first step is to multiply the molarity with the amount of ions in each formula.

For the first pair = (0.1 M) (4) = 0.4 M and (0.2 M) (2) = O. 4 M - > There is no net flow.

For the second pair = Since both are the same type of solution, solution A which has a lower concentration will flow to solution B which has a higher concentration.

For the third pair, (0.1 M) (2) = 0.2 M and (0.1 M) (2) = O. 2 M. There is no net flow since KBr and NaCL both have 2 ions.
