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.
