In reverse osmosis, the water travels from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration.

Correct Answer: False
In the process of osmosis, the water travels from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration while in the process of reverse osmosis, the reverse of the above process takes place due to the presence of trans-membrane pressure.

With reference to the movement of molecules of fluid in plant, consider the following statements.
1. Diffusion is the movement of molecules of a substance from the region of their higher concentration to the region of their lower concentration.
2. Osmosis is a process in which the water molecules move through a semipermeable membrane from the region of their lower concentration to the region of their higher concentration.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct ?

A man starts from point 'O', travels 20 km towards east to reach point 'A', turns right and travels 10 km to reach point 'B', turns right and travels 9 km to reach point 'C', turns right and travels 5 km to reach point 'D', turns left and travels 12 km to reach point 'E' and then turns right and travels 6 km to reach point 'F'. What is the shortest distance between point 'E' and point 'C'?

Consider the following statements.
1. During the pressure of osmosis, the solvent travels from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution.
2. In the reverse osmosis, external pressure is applied to the dilute solution.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?

Two cars C and D start from the same point. C travels 9 km South, then turns to its left and travels another 11 km. D travels 3 km East, then turns Southand travels 5 km, then turns to its left and travels another 8 km. Where is D with respect to C now?

Two autos start from the same stand. Auto A travels 2 km East, then turns to its right and travels a further 3 km. Meanwhile auto B travels 5 km North, then turns West and travels 3 km, then it turns to its left and travels 8 km. Where is auto B with respect to auto A?

Two navy ships start from the same port. Ship A travels 23 km West, then turns to its left and travels 19 km. Ship B travels 19 km West, then turns North and travels 5 km, then turns to its left and travels 4 km. Where is ship A with respect to ship B?

Estimate the interfacial solute concentration in the two liquids when the solute concentration is 45000 kg-moles/m3, interfacial solute concentration in liquid is 40000 kg-moles/m3, diffusivity is 2.5 × 10-11 m2/s and the length of the tube is 5m3 and the partition coefficient is 0.25.

If the last four letters of the word 'CONCENTRATION' are written in reverse order followed by next two in the reverse order and next three in the reverse order and then followed by the first four in the reverse order, counting from the end, which letter would be eighth in the new arrangement ?

Which of the following best explain why the lower course of a river is sometimes choked with sediments?
1. The valley of a river is widest in its lower course.
2. The velocity of a river in its lower course is low.
3. The delta sometimes develops in a river's lower course.
4. Much of the river water is drawn for irrigation in the lower course.

Osmosis is the flow of solution from higher concentration to a solution of lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane. What is incorrect in this statement?
