Osmosis: Factually wrong explanation
"The water crosses the semi-permeable membrane by diffusion until there is an equal amount of water on both sides of the membrane." This statement is facually wrong, Osmotic equilibrium is defined by equal chemical potentials of the passing component - water in your example - on both sides. By simple inspection of the graph File:Osmosis experiment.JPG, used to illustrate this section it should be clear that the amount of water is signifcantly different on both sides, contrary to the verbal statement in the article. Please note that the description Equal "concentration" of water" present in File:Osmosis experiment.JPG is factually wrong as well.
