Question
in the ------ process, pressure is used to push a water solution across a permeable membrane, which prevents large dissolved particles, such as salt, from passing through it.
a. electrolysis ed
b. filtration
c. reverse osmosis ro
d. osmosis
clear my choice
Reverse osmosis (RO) uses pressure to push a water - solution across a semi - permeable membrane, preventing large dissolved particles like salt from passing through. Electrodes are involved in electrolysis (not relevant here). Filtration is a general term but not the specific process described. Osmosis is the natural movement of solvent across a membrane from low to high solute concentration, while reverse osmosis is the opposite, driven by external pressure.
