The patient was under acute renal failure for which the patient underwent renal dialysis to externally filter the blood via osmosis.

Surrounding the tube is another larger tubing containing dialysate (assume pure water). Answer the following questions regarding osmosis and the function that dialysis serves in this case. a.In which direction is the driving force...
