Mr Skeptic Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Osmosis is strictly water-based diffusion, by definition. Diffusion of other things happens but isn't properly called osmosis, although some people do call it that anyways. And yes, gases diffuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louis wu Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Effusion is the name for gasses passing through a small aperture. It is mediated by Graham's law, and can be applied to mixtures of gasses up-to a point. Graham's law can be applied to purify gases in an analogue to reverse osmosis.
