Explain reverse osmosis.

उत्तर
i. If a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure is applied to the solution side, then pure solvent from the solution passes into pure solvent side through the semipermeable membrane. This phenomenon is called reverse osmosis.
ii. For example, consider fresh water salt water separated by a semipermeable membrane. When the pressure larger than the osmotic pressure of a solution is applied to solution, pure water from salty water passes into fresh pure water through the membrane. Thus, the direction of osmosis can be reversed by applying a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure.
iii. The schematic set up for reverse osmosis is as follows:
