MCQ
Diffusion of solvent through a semi permeable membrane is called
  • A
    Diffusion
  • Osmosis
  • C
    Active absorption
  • D
    Plasmolysis

Answer

Correct option: B.
Osmosis
b
Osmosis is the movement of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane toward a higher concentration of solute (lower concentration of solvent). In biological systems, the solvent is typically water, but osmosis can occur in other liquids, supercritical liquids, and even gases.

We have taken a saturated solution of $\mathrm{AgBr} . \mathrm{K}_{\text {sp }}$ of $\mathrm{AgBr}$ is $12 \times 10^{-14}$. If $10^{-7} \mathrm{~mole}$ of $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$ are added to $1$ litre of this solution find conductivity (specific conductance) of this solution in terms of $10^{-7} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~m}^{-1}$ units.

Given, $\lambda_{\left(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\right)}^{\circ}=6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Sm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}, \lambda_{\left(\mathrm{Br}^{-}\right)}^{\circ}=8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Sm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}, \lambda_{\left(\mathrm{NO}_{\mathrm{j}}\right)}^{\circ}=7 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Sm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.
