Its known is osmotic pressure

When two solution of volumes are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water will flow from the volume of low solute concentration, to the volume of high solute concentration.

The flow may be stopped, or even reversed by applying external pressure on the volume of higher concentration. In such a case the phenomenon is called reverse osmosis.

If there are solute molecules only in one volume of the system, then the pressure on it, that stops the flow, is called the osmotic pressure.

Has any relation between osmosis pressure and water activity?

There is definitely a strong relation between osmosis pressure and water activity. Osmosis is the movement of water from high pressure to low pressure.


Is there more pressure used in Osmosis or reverse Osmosis?

Water or liquid move naturally from lower concentration to higher concentration. The drive force is called osmotic pressure. No additional pressure need to drive osmosis process. Reverse osmosis, is apply pressure to fight against osmotic pressure. It do need additional pressure to reverse the osmosis process. It is comparing a zero additional pressure with any positive additional pressure thus of cause reverse osmosis require more pressure.


Is a colligative property of solutions in which the pressure created by osmosis equals the pressure required to prevent osmosis.?

What is driven by hydrostatic fluid pressure?

Diffusion, Osmosis


Reverse osmosis occurs when?

a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.


What does it take to make osmosis to go backwards?

It requires energy. With a pressure difference, you can revert osmosis.


What is osmosis with reference of desalination?

The process of osmosis is reversed using high pressure to perform desalination.


Can we use osmosis for desalinating water?

The process for desalinization is reverse osmosis. The salty fluid is put on the pressurized side of the semi-permeable membrane and the salt free water oozes to the low pressure side. The pressure overcomes the "osmotic pressure" noted in regular osmosis.
