According to the Oxford English Dictionary, osmosis is defined as "a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one" (OED 2013). The greater mass present in the higher concentrated solution of the solvent causes the water molecule to pass through the sempermeable membrane until the water concentration of water with concentrated solution are balanced on both sides.
