• Movement of solvent molecules from its higher concentration to lower concentration

• Movement of solvent molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration of solution through a permeable membrane

• Movement of solute molecules from lower concentration to higher concentration of solution through a semipermeable membrane

Answer 1
