Hey
Was making up some chem notes (mid semester study break, thought id better actually do some) and came across osmosis. Now my understanding of this is that you have two solutions separated by a membrane that let's the solvent pass but not the solute. What i don't get is why the solvent goes from high concentration (of solute i assume) to low, surely that actually increases and furthere unequalises the concentration instead of restoring it?
Cheers
