In a simple experiment a container is partitioned into compartments by a semi-permeable membrane. A solution is placed in one compartment and pure solvent in the other. Both compartments are open to the atmosphere. If the arrangement is not interferred with any further, state what you expect to happen in the container , if anything , and explain why ?.

Respuesta :

In the given circumstances, it is expected that the solution will start to move through the Semipermeable membrane towards the pure solvent due to the application of excess pressure on the side of the solution. This movement is called Reverse osmosis.

What is Reverse Osmosis?

Reverse osmosis is the process of forcing excess pressure on the solution side of a semipermeable membrane to transport a solvent from the solution to the pure solvent. The reverse Osmosis process is used in the purification of water. In this process, the semipermeable membrane is used to filter out the large particles in order to make water drinkable.  The semipermeable membrane used in the water treatment process is made up of synthetic lining.
