what is osmosis?with the help of an example.explain the 2 types of osmosis
Answers
osmosis: the movement of solute from higher concentration to lower concentration from semi-permeable membrane .
Eg: put dried raisins and apricotes in a bowl in which water will have salt and sugar .
Answer:
osmos is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.[2][3][4] It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves across a selectively permeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.[5][6] Osmosis can be made to do work.[7] Osmotic pressure is defined as the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane. Osmotic pressure is a colligative property, meaning that the osmotic pressure depends on the molar concentration of the solute but not on its identity.
