Question

Study the figure given above, in which the two chambers A and B containing solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane.

Solution of which chamber has a lower water potential?
Solution of which chamber has a lower solute potential?
In which direction will osmosis occur?
Which solution has a higher solute potential?
At equilibrium which chamber will have lower water potential?
If one chamber has a $\Psi$ of -2000 kPa and the other -1000 kPa, which is the chamber that has the higher $\Psi?$
