Which factors affect the rate of osmotic movement of water?

Osmotic movement of water or osmosis is mainly defined as the shifting of the water from a higher concentrated region to a lower concentrated region through a selectively permeable membrane. This membrane allows only the liquid or water molecules to transfer and does not allow the solute particles.

        The rate at which the osmotic water movement takes place is directly proportional to the differences in terms of solute concentration. This means that the rate of osmosis increases with increasing differences in concentration of solute between any two distinct solutions that are distinguished by a selective membrane (permeable membrane).
