Answer:

\purple{Define \: \: what \: \: is \: \: osmosis?}

 \huge \red{Answer}

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

 \huge \green{Effect}

Red blood cells placed in a solution with a higher water concentration compared to their contents (eg pure water) will gain water by osmosis, swell up and burst. Water will diffuse from a higher water concentration outside the cell to a lower water concentration inside the cell.

 \huge \blue{Rules}

The principle of osmosis states that when a semipermeable membrane separates two fluid spaces, water will flow from an area of lower solute concentration to one of higher solute concentration to achieve equilibrium so that the osmotic pressures are balanced. Chemical equation

 \huge \pink{ Osmotic Force }

The van't Hoff theory describes that substances in dilute solution obey the ideal gas laws, resulting to the osmotic pressure formula π = (n/V)RT = [Ci]RT where R is the gas constant, T the absolute temperature, and [Ci] the molar concentration of solute i in dilute solution (1).
