Question

Describe about the Electro-osmosis.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The electro-osmosis is to be described.

Step 2

Electro-osmosis is a process that takes place around a material which is porous in nature due to the movement of the liquid which occurs by potential difference.

The above process can also takes place in a tube of capillary, micro-channel or any membrane process.

This type of process usually takes place during the electrophoresis.

The force by which this phenomenon takes place is the coulomb force that is caused by an electric field in a solution.
