Question

Solutes are sometimes measured in milliosmoles. Explain the statement, 'Water chases milliosmoles."

Answer 1

Answer: Water is an excellent solvent meaning solutes will freely diffuse and be dispersed in a solution of water very quickly.

Explanation: Water has many properties that allow it to break up and dissolve many materials in addition to its natural ability to spread out and disperse a lot of solutes meaning that water might not literally chase milliosmoles, but it will move them around very quickly and efficiently.
