Practicing Success
Sea water is desalinated to get fresh water by which of the following methods? |
When pressure more than osmotic pressure is applied pure water is squeezed out of sea water by reverse osmosis When excess pressure is applied on sea water pure water moves in by osmosis Water moves out from sea water due to osmosis Salt is precipitated from sea water when kept undisturbed for sometime |
When pressure more than osmotic pressure is applied pure water is squeezed out of sea water by reverse osmosis |
If external pressure applied to the solution is more than osmotic pressure, then solvent molecules move from solution to solvent and this phenomenon is known as Reverse Osmosis (R.O.). This process can be used to obtain pure water from seawater. Pure water is squeezed out of seawater by R.O. |
