Question

3 In a similar experiment, substance X is used instead of glucose. It is soluble in water but has much larger particles that cannot pass through the semi-permeable membrane.
Name the process that will occur in this case, in which there is an overall movement of water molecules.​

Answer 1

Ответ:

Osmosis is the spontaneous transfer of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane that does not pass the dissolved substance and separates two solutions of the same substance with different concentrations, or a pure solvent and a solution. Osmosis brings the system closer to equilibrium as a result of equalization of concentrations on both sides of the partition - the solvent diffuses in the direction from a dilute solution or a pure solvent to a more concentrated solution.
