Which outcome occurs when a semi-permeable membrane separates solutions?

💡 Explanation

Water moves to equalize solute concentration (osmosis) via diffusion because "osmotic pressure" occurs as water volume increases in the high-concentration side. Ionic transfer may occur, but osmosis dominates therefore pressure differences result rather than temperature equalization alone.
