Question

________ forces water through a semi permeable membrane and removes pollutants.

  1. Reverse Osmosis
  2. Osmosis
  3. Diffusion
  4. Absorption

hintHint:

Reverse osmosis helps to remove pollutants.

The correct answer is: Reverse Osmosis


    • Reverse osmosis removes contaminants from unfiltered water, or feed water when pressure forces it through a semipermeable membrane.
    • Water flows from the more concentrated side (more contaminants) of the RO membrane to the less concentrated side (fewer contaminants) to provide clean drinking water.
    • The freshwater produced is called the permeate. The concentrated water left over is called waste or brine.

    A semipermeable membrane has small pores that block contaminants but allow water molecules to flow through.
