It describes movement from hypotonic to hypertonic solutions, and its namesake pressure is a colligative property.
One type of this process employs feed streams and draw solutions, and the classification of this process depends on the type of pressure differential it exploits. The forward type of this phenomenon requires no applied pressure, although another way it can occur is by hydrostatic pressure. It describes movement from hypotonic to hypertonic solutions, and its namesake pressure is a colligative property. The reverse form of this process is used to purify drinking water. For 10 points, name this process in which water flows through a semipermeable membrane to reach equilibrium.
