    Diffusion and Osmosis

    This document discusses diffusion and osmosis. Diffusion is the process by which particles spread out randomly from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Increased temperature speeds up diffusion by increasing particle movement. Osmosis is a type of diffusion that occurs across a semi-permeable membrane. It works via concentration differences, with the solvent moving from an area of higher solvent concentration to one of lower concentration in order to equalize concentrations between the two areas.

    DIFFUSION

    Diffusion is a general term used to describe the separation of the solute and the solvent by a
    membrane that is permeable to the solvent and solute despite the dispersion of the solute of a solution
    to its solvent by spreading its particles through random motion brought by increased temperature. In
    most cases this happens in solutions with particle solutes and water solvents.

    A note to remember is that in a solution, the material to be mixed or incorporated into is the
    solute. While the material in which the solute incorporates itself with the material.

    Increased temperatures can expand the molecules on the high-temperature area, making the
    molecules absorb the heat energy and start moving around to cope with the energy it handles. So, if the
    membrane is removed, the two materials will collide and mix using their molecular velocities

    In generality, diffusion is the separation of the solute and solvent by a solute-permeable and
    solvent-permeable membrane .

    OSMOSIS

    Osmosis is just diffusion done in a different way. Osmosis, unlike the casual diffusion, does not
    use temperature as a driving force. It uses concentration differences of the solute and solvent to give
    the appropriate naturally-driven force to mix the two materials. Also, it uses a semi-permeable
    membrane that allows the high-concentration solution to pass through.

    Osmosis works like this. There are two substances, the solute and the solvent, that have
    different kinds of concentration levels. In this case, the solvent has the higher concentration than the
    solute. They are separated by a semi-permeable membrane which allows only the solvent to pass
    through. The solvent, which is highly concentrated and passable to the membrane given, tends to
    expand to relax itself from the tight concentration given to them. The solvent travels to the solute and
    mixes until the total solute and solvent concentration of the two areas become equal. Osmosis provides
    the type of diffusion that uses concentration and the advantage of the solvent to travel through the
    membrane in order to create balancing concentrations with the one area to the other one. Simply put
    that osmosis is diffusion via , “concentration difference-driven” force to balance the two areas of
    concentration given.
