| | Diffusion - Osmosis demos |
 | | The movement of water molecules can also set up a pressure, called osmotic pressure, which depends on the difference between the concentrations on either side of the membrane. |
 | | "Visking" tubing is a form of processed cellulose or cellophane which has pores in it through which water (and other small molecules) can pass, so it can be considered as a PARTIALLY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE. |
 | | If it is sealed at one end, attached to a glass tube, and filled with a liquid such as sugar solution, and immersed in another liquid such as water, then water should pass through the visking tubing and cause the level of liquid to rise inside the glass tube. |
