Question

Write the condition of reverse osmosis.

Hint:

Effective reverse osmosis treatment involves applying pressure that surpasses the natural osmotic pressure to effectively move water through a semi-permeable membrane, separating it from contaminants.

Answer 1

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a process that occurs when a pressure that is higher than the osmotic pressure is applied to a solution with higher solute concentration. This applied pressure reverses the natural osmosis direction, driving water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from the more concentrated to the less concentrated side.
