Two tanks (tank A and tank B) of pure water are connected by a small hose. Water can flow freely between the tanks. A container of sugar is poured into the water in tank A. Based on the process of osmosis, what will happen to the sugar concentrations over time?

Because the tanks are connected and water can flow freely, the dissolved sugar can spread through the water from tank A into tank B. Over time, mixing distributes the sugar throughout both tanks, so their concentrations become equal. The sugar does not remain at a higher concentration in either tank.
