← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a solvent hinders molecular diffusion?
A)Increased solvation layer stability forms
B)Decreased osmotic pressure equilibration speed✓
C)Elevated endothermic dissolution enthalpy change
D)Reduced crystallization nucleation probability
💡 Explanation
Slower diffusion causes delayed pressure equalization because osmosis relies on the kinetic molecular theory, thus diffusion moves solvents toward equilibrium of solutes. This hinders osmotic equilibrium establishment, rather than solubility effects, due to the slowed motion and less impact events.
