Question

osmosis is a special case of diffusion.A.explain the phenomenon of osmosis.B.how is diffusion different from osmosis?C.give an example of osmosis that you often observe in your kitchen.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A. osmosis is a phenomenon that where pure water flows from a dilute solution through a semi permeable membrane to a higher concentrated solution.

B. osmosis can only function in a liquid medium but diffusing can occur in three mediums (solid, liquid, gases).

osmosis requires a semi permeable membrane but diffusion does not occur.

C. Take a potato and soak in a pure water and observe it swells up to time.

Answer 2

A. Osmosis is a phenomenon where pure water flows from a dilute solution through a semi preamble means that the members will allow small molecules and ions to pass through it but acts as a barrier to large molecules or dissolved substances.

B. In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis semipermeabel membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to concentration.

C. An example of osmosis occurs when a sugar solution and water, top, are separated by a semipermeabel membrane. Solution's large sugar molecules cannot pass through the membrane until equilibrium is established,bottom.
