Question

In the video, the semipermeable membrane separates the two solutions of different concentrations. Watch the video and identify which of the following statements are correct.Check all that apply.A. A pressure equal to that of the osmotic pressure will result in reverse osmosis.B. The solvent can ideally move in both directions through the semipermeable membrane.C. Osmosis occurs when the solvent molecules move from a solution of higher solute concentration to a solution of lower solute concentration.D. The movement of the solvent particles from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution is known as reverse osmosis.E. Solute particles can move in both directions through the semipermeable membrane.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A and D

A. A pressure equal to that of the osmotic pressure will result in reverse osmosis.

D. The movement of the solvent particles from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution is known as reverse osmosis.

During osmosis, water molecules from the less concentrated right side, will flow into the left side til they equilibrate- at equilibrium both sides will have the same concentration of solute.

Thus, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure/ solute concentration on either side of the membrane, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low osmotic pressure /concentration.  

Water potential equal to the pressure potential shifts  the equilibrium, resulting in the movement of solute.

                             φ= φs+φp

However, in reverse osmosis, solute molecules move from regions of high solute concentration, to regions of low solute concentration across the membrane.
