Water will diffuse towards the side with NaCl because NaCl dissociates into two ions, making its osmolarity effectively higher than glucose, assuming equal molar concentrations.
towards NaCl
| Front | Which way will water diffuse if there is 1 M glucose on one side and 1 M NaCl on the other side of a semi-permeable membrane? |
|---|---|
| Back | towards NaCl |
