If a bag filled with 15% sucrose were placed into Beaker 2 (5% sucrose), what would happen to its mass after 60 minutes? Experiment Context (Osmotic Mass Change in Dialysis Bags): Dialysis tubing bags permeable to water but impermeable to sucrose were filled with 10% sucrose and placed into beakers of various sucrose concentrations at 20°C for 60 minutes: Table 14: - Beaker 1 (0% sucrose / distilled water): Initial mass = 20.0 g; Final mass = 23.4 g; Change = +17.0% - Beaker 2 (5% sucrose): Initial mass = 20.0 g; Final mass = 21.6 g; Change = +8.0% - Beaker 3 (10% sucrose): Initial mass = 20.0 g; Final mass = 20.0 g; Change = 0.0% - Beaker 4 (20% sucrose): Initial mass = 20.0 g; Final mass = 17.8 g; Change = -11.0%
