My brother I would have given up on this, but I don't give when I am right. Below is a passage from a book, do with it what you like, iam done:

Osmosis is a process by which solvent molecules move from an area of high solvet concentration to an area of low solvent concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Semi-permeable membranes allow solvent molecules to pass through but not solute molecules. The rate of osmosis is proportional to the difference in solvent concentration between the two areas.

I hope this explanation was helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

ositadima1:
I dey keke for traffic dey type, lol.

Deadlytruth:


You are bringing in Physics and law of gravity into it. That doesn't apply here. There is what is called osmotic pressure and it is the force which helps move water across the membrane. Osmosis is strictly about the movement of water molecules and not the movement of any other substance.

In all instances of osmosis, there are two solutions separated by a semi-permeable membrane which permits only water to move across it. Now, when those two solutions of different concentrations are connected with that semi permeable membrane, osmotic pressure is immediately set up with the goal of equalizing the two different concentrations. This makes water molecules to start moving away from the hypotonic solution (i.e the side of lower concentration) through the membrane to go and dilute the hypertonic solution (i.e. the side of higher concentration) at the opposite end and in the end both solutions become isotonic (i.e. of equal concentrations)

ggoldmine:
Aha! I see the confusion. To clarify, osmosis is from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration, which is the same as higher solvent concentration to lower solvent concentration.

Case closed

BabsO2:


Will need to read up on osmosis to refresh its exact meaning as it is more under biology i guess.
But looking at hygroscopic or capillary forces. They cause water to flow against gravity. They are due to net imbalances in other forces at the atomic level. And there are so many forces at the atomic level which physicists say are far greater in value than the gravitational one we see and can easily relate with. That's why a nuclear bomb is possible. Where massive amount of energy (force x distance) is released by a change from one atom to another under the right conditions that are possible.

Cat fish is found in fresh water habit, If you take catfish and put it in a lagoon the catfish will die. The concentration of the catfish body fluid is lower than that of the lagoon. Water will move out of the catfish cells into the environment that is the lagoon, this will cause plasmolysis of the catfish cell and the death of the animal.


If you take a mackerel fish found in the ocean and put it into a fresh water habitat. The concentration of the fresh water habitat is lower than the concentration of the mackerel body fluid. Water will move from the environment ie the fresh water that has a lower concentration into the cells of the mackerel fish that has a higher concentration. The water movement into the animal will make its cells to become turgid, the cell membrane will burst leading to the death of the fish


I was surprised you did not do that practical described by Deadlytruth in your Biology classes in high school

ositadima1:


Osmosis is a form of diffusion.

Diffusion is like an umbrella under which osmosis falls as a specialized form. Osmosis is always from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Like most processes in nature, things move from high energy states to lower energy states, or else you need external energy to go in the other direction.

Nwokem mba o.... no be so

Water moves from areas of low concentration(high water potential) to high Concentration (low water potential)......

That is diffusion.


Osmosis is the movement from lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane to areas of higher concentration

See loss. This guys just finish us that year.

Deadlytruth:

Can there be anything like concentration of water?
I know that I could measure the concentration of salt in grams of that salt per dm³ of water, but how do you measure concentration of water? Would you say 2grams of water per dm³ of water?

Miyachi:

It is the solvent that moves not the solute. It diffuses from an area of lower concentration solution (higher concentration of water) to an area of higher concentration solution(lower concentration of water) until both solutions are isotonic.

Higher concentration here means a higher solute concentration and lower concentration means inversely the same.

We have a new analysis......BA (Biological Analysis)

Curiouscity:


Random walk, fluctuations, probability, stochastic model and deterministic model in Physics can all be applied to the Stock market more than Osmosis. Yet they have wasted almost 2 pages trying to get the correct definition of Osmosis. Talk of derailment!

I was admitted to study physics, did it for 2 years but could not cope due to youthful exuberance. So was advised to withdraw or change course

Eyah sorry about that...
I got love for chemistry but my friend advised me to go for physics and I did...
I haven't regretted my decision till date
