Osmosis is different from diffusion as: Correct Answer Osmosis requires a liquid solvent

Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where an SPM separates two liquid solutions. Solutes cannot pass through the SPM. As more solvent particles are present in dilute solution than the concentrated one, these particles move through SPM from the former to the latter.

In a gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, steady state equimolar counter diffusion is occurring at a total pressure of 100 kPa and temperature of 20°C. If the partial pressures of oxygen at two planes 0.01 m apart, and perpendicular to the direction of diffusion are 15 kPa and 5 kPa, respectively and the mass diffusion flux of oxygen in the mixture is 1.6 * 10–5 kmol/m2.sec, calculate the molecular diffusivity for the system. For equimolar counter current diffusion:
