Question

Osmosis is the flow of solvent into solution of higher concentration from solution of lower concentration through semi-permeable membrane. Which of the following is incorrect?

a. Osmotic pressure is the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane.

b. Reverse Osmosis is a process where you demineralize or deionize water by pushing it under pressure through a semi-permeable Reverse Osmosis Membrane.

c. In Osmosis when equilibrium is reached, then water stops flowing across the membrane

d. None of these

Solution

The correct option is D

In Osmosis when equilibrium is reached, then water stops flowing across the membrane


Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.In Osmosis when equilibrium is reached, then also water continues to flow, but it flows both ways in equal amounts as well as force, therefore stabilizing the solution.
