Definition
he found that flies could not come from meat because he performed an experiment. he took 2 jars, one with a lid and one without a lid, and put snake meat in them. he waited a while, then found that the one with a lid had flies on the lid, not on the meat. if flies came from meat, they would be in the jar. |

Term
use the following information to solve this problem: a bag is permeable to salt and water but not to salt. if the bag contains 20% salt, 70% H2O and 10% sugar, and the ocean has 10% salt and 90% water, will the bag's contents and the water ever reach equ |
|
Definition
no, because if the bag is selectively permeable to sugar, that means that sugar cannot go in or out of the bag, therefore, the sugar would never reach equilibrium. |
