In reverse osmosis, water flows out of a salt solution until the osmotic pressure of the solution equals the applied pressure. Assume seawater has a colligative molarity of 1.10 M, and you want to use reverse osmosis to produce freshwater from the seawater. Calculate the volume of seawater (in liters) required to produce 10.0 liters of freshwater when a pressure of 65 atm is applied to the seawater at 25°C. The ideal gas constant is 0.08205 L-atm/mol·K.
