Question

Based on the figure given below which of the following statements is not correct?

Options

• Movement of solvent molecules will take place from chamber A to B.

• Movement of solute will take place from A to B.

• Presence of a semipermeable is a pre-requisite for this process to occur.

• The direction and rate of osmosis depends on both the pressure gradient and concentration gradient.

Answer 1

Movement of solute will take place from A to B.

Explanation:

The movement of solvent always takes place from high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration. Solute never moves through a semipermeable membrane.
