Osmosis

Cards (4)

  • Osmosis :
    The diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water
  • to investigate osmosis a solution with a high sugar concentration is separated from Solution with a low sugar concentration by a partially permable membrane such as visking tubibg
  • When investigating for osmosis two solutions are measured then left for a period of time and then measured again too see if the water has moved avriss the membrane from dilute to concentrated
  • If the water has moved this means the more concentrated solution has inc in mass and the dilute dec in mass
