An osmosis cell is constructed of a "U" shaped tube with a semipermeable membrane separating the two arms of the tube. Suppose a concentrated solution is placed in the left arm of the U-tube, and a dilute concentration of the same substance is poured into the other arm to the same height. After a period of time has elapsed, you would expect to find that
