One way of producing drinking water from seawater is by reverse osmosis.
Reverse osmosis is a type of filtration. Seawater is pushed through a semi-permeable membrane. Pressure is applied to the seawater. Semi-permeable
means salt is trapped on one side of the membrane, but water can pass through.
The trapped salts form a ‘seawater concentrate’ on one side of the membrane.
Where do the trapped salts go?
[a] ocean [b]Water distribution system
[c]Storage tank [d]delivery pipeline
QUESTION 3:
Based on the above picture what will determine whether a particle is able to pass
through the membrane?
[a] particle size [b] particle mass
[c] number of particles [d] charge on the particle
