QUESTION 1

The process by which a semipermeable membrane allows water molecules, small molecules, and

		ions to pass through while retaining large particles is called
		A. dialysis.
		B. osmotic pressure.
		C. solvation.
		D. hydration.
		E. dilution.

Expert Solution

Analysis

Given : A semipermeable membrane that allows to water molecules and small particles but retaining large particles.

To find : The name of process by which this process will happen.

Solution : As we know that, solute particles and solvent particles are small in size, while some substances has larger size. Due to small size they can easily pass through the thin layer or membrane while larger particles cannot pass through the membrane.
