What is reverse osmosis?
A)the application,to a concentrated solution,of a pressure that is greater than the osmotic pressure,such that solvent flows from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution
B)the application,to a dilute solution,of a pressure that is greater than the osmotic pressure,such that solvent flows from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution
C)the application,to a concentrated solution,of a pressure that is greater than the osmotic pressure,such that solute flows from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution
D)the application,to a dilute solution,of a pressure that is greater than the osmotic pressure,such that solute flows from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution
E)the application,to a concentrated solution,of a pressure that is greater than the osmotic pressure,such that solvent flows from the dilute solution to the concentrated solution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reverse osmosis involves applying a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure to a concentrated solution, causing the solvent to flow from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution, effectively purifying the solvent by removing solutes.
