Vedclass · Answer

(A) Osmosis is the spontaneous flow of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a region of pure solvent (or dilute solution) to a region of concentrated solution.According to the vapour pressure theory,the vapour pressure of a pure solvent is always higher than that of a solution.Since solvent molecules move from a region of higher chemical potential (higher vapour pressure) to a region of lower chemical potential (lower vapour pressure),the correct direction is from higher vapour pressure to lower vapour pressure.
