Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration (i.e., higher concentration of water) to an area of higher solute concentration (i.e., lower concentration of water) till equilibrium is reached.

Detailed explanation-2: -During osmosis, water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane. A semi-permeable membrane is one that allows certain substances to pass through but not others. Water moves across the membrane down a gradient, which means it moves from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water.

Detailed explanation-3: -This movement of solvent is called osomsis. The solvent is said to “osmose". The osmosis will continue until both side of the membrane have the same concentration (same free energy). This is the equilibrium state.
