Question

This process names a form of blistering that can cause epoxy resins to delaminate. Loeb and Sourirajan developed a type of power named for this process, which is maintained in one technique by recovering the draw solution to keep a steady TDS level. Strongly dissociating compounds have a high molarity named for this process, which also names industrial (*) "forward" and "pressure-retarded" techniques. This process' pressure is proportional to temperature, concentration (10[1])and the van't Hoff factor. (10[1])Hypertonic (10[6])solutions (10[3]0[1])naturally undergo (10[1])this (10[1])process, (10[7])unlike (10[1])in desalination plants (10[1]0[1])where a "reverse" form (10[4])is (10[2])forcibly (10[3])carried out. (10[1]0[1])For 10 points, name this process in which water diffuses (10[1])across (10[1])a semipermeable membrane. ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: osmosis [accept reverse osmosis; accept forward osmosis; accept pressure-retarded osmosis; accept osmotic blistering; prompt on osmolarity; prompt on diffusion until "diffuses" is read]
