The hypertonic solution has a lower water concentration than the hypotonic solution, so a concentration gradient of water now exists across the membrane. Water molecules will move from the side of higher water concentration to the side of lower concentration until both solutions are isotonic.
If a hypertonic and hypotonic solution was separated by a selectively permeable membrane, you would predict that net water flow be in which direction? Explain.
