osmosis / smell

The net movement of solvent molecules, usually water, from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane.

(chemistry) The osmotic concentration of a solution, normally expressed as osmoles of solute per litre of solution.

(chemistry) A unit of measurement, a mole of an osmotically active compound

(chemistry) a technique whereby a solution is forced through a semipermeable membrane under pressure; used to generate drinkable water from seawater, or to separate chemical compounds

Relating to, or powered by, osmosis.

(physical chemistry) The hydrostatic pressure exerted by a solution across a semipermeable membrane from a pure solvent; the pressure needed to counteract osmosis.

Alternative form of electroosmosis

Alternative form of electroosmotic

Having the same solute concentration, and therefore the same water potential; frequently construed with with.
