What is the diffusion of water of another solvent from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent?
This process is called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules, such as water, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. It helps to equalize the concentration of solute particles on both sides of the membrane.
. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane in which water moves from a solution containing a low concentration of solute to what kind of solution?
a solution containing a high concentration of solute
Does osmosis have amino acids or sugar in it?
Osmosis is a process. It does not contain anything. This process is triggered by the unequal concentrations of water, i.e. if a solution with high concentration of salt in it is bordered with a solution with low concentration of salt (if a solution is water it can be considered as 100% water solution, if it is, for example, 5% sugar solution, it can be considered as 95% water solution). So, water molecules move to the side with lower water concentration. Impertant: for only osmosis to happen, the wall between two solutions must be permeable only for water molecules. If it is also permeable for other substances they will also try to equalize their concentrations on the both side by move to the side where their concentration is less, and THIS IS CALLED diffusion.
Where is water moving from in osmosis?
Water moves from an area of higher water concentration (dilute solution) to an area of lower water concentration (concentrated solution) in osmosis. This movement occurs across a semi-permeable membrane.
Does osmosis require a semipermeable membrane?
Semi permeable membrane means a very thin layer of material which allows some molecule to pass through them and prevent some molecule to pass through them. Osmosis is the passage of water from a dilute solution via a membrane which is semi permeable to a more concentrate solution. So the membrane should be semi-permeable so as to only allow the movement of H2O molecules and not the other molecules of the mixture.
What is the best description of osmosis?
Osmosis is a proces of transfer of a diluted solution in the zone of a more concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane.
Is it true that a solution can not be separated furthur by physical means?
No, it is not true.A solution can be separated by reverse osmosis; you need a semi-permeable membrane and a means to apply pressure.
Is 0.8 NaCl a hypertonic solution?
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
What is a process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water or another solvent from a more dilute solution (of a solute) to a more concentrated solution (of the solute) through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent.
What facts about osmosis?
Osmosis is the process where Water Molecules move from a solution with a Higher Water Potential to a solution with a Lower Water Potential through a Partially Permeable Membrane.
Is the cell membrane permeable in animal cells?
I assume you mean semi-permerable membrane that is permeable to the solution (water) but not the solute (salt). Osmosis can only occur if the membrane does NOT allow salt to pass through. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low salt concentration to higher salt concentration.
How is osmosis?
Osmosis is diffusion of water from the region of its higher concentration (pure water or dilute solution) to the region of its lower concentration (strong solution) through a semi permeable membrane.
What materials are selectively permeable to water?
Pig's bladder , Parchment paper , copper sulphate solution etc are semipermeable to water.
What is reverse osomosis?
The pure solvent flows out of he solution through the semi permeable membrane .this phenomina is called reverse osomosis.
When comparing two solutions the solution with greater concentration is?
It often depends. The one with more solute has a higher concentration of solute than the other. In pertaining to osmosis, the hypotonic (or hypoosmotic) solution has less solute and more water over a semi-permeable membrane where the hyperotonic (or hyperosmotic) solution has more solute and less water over a semi-permeable membrane.
If a 10 percent sugar solution is separated from 20 percent sugar solution by a selectively permeable membrane in which direction will there be net movement?
The direction will be towards the more concentrated side so the 10% solution with go towards the 20% solution in an attempt to reach equilibrium.
How is osmosis related to solution types?
We define Osmosis as the passage of water from a dilute solution via a membrane which is semi permeable to a more concentrate solution. It means that Semi permeable membrane is a very thin layer of material which allows some molecule to pass through them and prevent some molecule from pass through them. These molecules are decided by the type of solution. Generally, the membrane only allows movement of H2O molecules. So, if on one side is a saturated solution of something while on the other side is a dilute solution, the movement of molecules will be from both the directions but net result will be from saturated to dilute solution.
