← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a semi-permeable membrane separates solutions?
A)Water migrates, causing osmotic pressure.✓
B)Solutes precipitate, filtering both solutions.
C)Ions redistribute, creating redox capacity.
D)Temperature equalizes via advective transfer.
💡 Explanation
Water moves to equalize solute concentration (osmosis) via diffusion because "osmotic pressure" occurs as water volume increases in the high-concentration side. Ionic transfer may occur, but osmosis dominates therefore pressure differences result rather than temperature equalization alone.
