Answer: -

Osmosis is the process by which water molecules move from a region of high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration.

Now in any solution there are just solute and solvent.

If the amount of solvent is more in a solution then the amount of solute would be less.

Again if the amount of solvent is less in a solution then amount of solute is more.

Thus we can write that :- osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of low solute concentration to high solute concentration.

Answer:  low solute concentration to high solute concentration

high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration

Explanation:

Osmosis is defined as the process in which molecules of a solvent tend to move through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low concentration solution to a region of more concentrated solution.

For example, absorption of water by the roots of a plant is due to osmosis.

Also, low concentration of solute means high concentration of solvent, thus water is flowing from high concentration of solvent to low concentration of solvent.

Thus, we can conclude that in case of osmosis solvent molecules move from solution having low solute concentration to high solute concentration high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration

Place the following compounds in order of increasing strength of intermolecular forces. HF H2 CH3Cl
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

H2 < CH3Cl < HF

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces are the forces that bond the molecules together in a substance. There are three types of these forces:

  1. Dipole induced -dipole induced, or London dispersion -> Is the weakest and is presented in nonpolar molecules, in which a dipole is induced and so the molecules are joined together;
  2. Dipole-dipole -> Is stronger than the London dispersion and occurs in a polar molecule. In this case, the dipole already exists (partial positive and negative charges), so the poles are attracted;
  3. Hydrogen bond -> It's the strongest and is formed when the hydrogen is bonded with a higher electronegativity element (F, O, and N).

So, the molecule of H2 is linear and formed by the same element, so, is nonpolar, and has London dispersion forces. The molecule of CH3Cl has 3 nonpolar bonds (C-H), and one polar bond (C-Cl), so it's polar and has dipole-dipole forces. And the HF molecule has hydrogen bonds.

*A polar bond is a bond formed by elements with different electronegativities.
