During osmosis pure solvent diffuses through a membrane by solutes do not
Added by Jay J.
Step 1
Osmosis is the movement of water (the pure solvent) across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Show more…

During osmosis: Pure solvent passes through a membrane, but solutes do not. Pure solvent moves in one direction through the membrane, while the solute moves through the membrane in the other direction. Pure solvent moves in one direction through the membrane, while the solution moves through the membrane in the other direction. Pure solute moves in one direction through the membrane, while the solution moves through the membrane in the other direction. Pure solute passes through a membrane, but solvent does not.

pure solvent and a solution both diffuse at the same time through a membrane. pure solvent diffuses through a membrane but solutes do not. gases diffuse through a membrane into a solution and build up pressure. pure solutes diffuse through a membrane but solvent does not.
