Document Summary

Diffusion: dissolved solutes (molecules / ions in solution) are in constant, random motion, solutes will spontaneously spread out" ( entropy) until concentrations on all regions are equal. Starting situation: more solute on right side of membrane, solute cannot cross, water moves across membrane to attempt to equalize its concentration. Outcomes: concentration" of water equal on both sides, concentration of total solute equal on both sides as long as water allowed to cross. Creates an imbalance in water concentration as well. The side with trapped solute will draw water across until the concentrations are roughly evil. Movement of water in situations like this is roughly osmosis: osmotic pressure = when you put pressure (ex. with a plunger) and release to see water movement. Osmosis = the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane down its concentration gradient (toward a higher solute concentration)
