10. The solutions in the two arms of a U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose. Side A is filled with a solution of 4M sucrose and 2M glucose. Side B is filled with 2M sucrose and 3M glucose. Initially, the solution in side A, with respect to side B is______________. Why? After equilibrium, what changes are observed? Which side has a higher water level?
