ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Osmosis is the process of moving a solvent from a low-concentrated solution to a high-concentrated solution.
Because a highly concentrated solution contains more moles of solute, its molarity is higher, and in order to maintain equilibrium, water is pumped into it from a low-concentrated solution across a semipermeable membrane.
