By what mechanism does the active transport of sodium lead to osmotic flow of water across a membrane?

Solution

Osmosis = The scattering of water across a particular permeable membrane (with the absorption gradient, that is from areas of high concentration to an area of low absorption).

As it is scattering, the rate of osmosis depend on the absorption gradient.

Active transport = The motion of molecules against the absorption gradient with the utilize of energy (eg, ATP)

As sodium is transfer, that would adapt the absorption of water in that zone, for example, if sodium was existence transfer into the cell, the absorption of water would shrink. This would authorize for more quick osmosis of water into the cell.
