Can't just give you the answer, but if thats what you want use google :) This is the wikipedia definition, but heres a hint, the answer is known as a "universal solvent"

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.
