Question

Observe the figure and answer the following questions:
1. What changes do you observe in setup A after some time .
2. Define the process responsible for this change .
3. Differentiate between diffusion and osmosis .

Answer 1

1.The dry crystals lose their crystalline form.
3.1.Diffusion is the movement of molecules of a substance from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration when they are placed in contact.On the other hand,osmosis is a process in which there is a movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.

Answer 2

1,The water has moved from high concentration to lower concentration 2,osmosis is the change responsible for this change 3,Diffusion is the movement of higher particles from high concentration to lower concentration until they are spread out evenly while as Osmosis is the movement of water
