Osmosis is the process responsible for carrying nutrients and water from groundwater supplies to the upper parts of trees. The osmotic pressures required for this process can be as high as 19.1 atm. What would the molar concentration of the tree sap have to be to achieve this pressure on a day when the temperature is 22 °C? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Consider a 250mL solution composed of 25% pentane by volume and 75%n-pentanol by volume. The following is a summary of the chemical and physical data for these two organic compounds. Pentane (CsH,12): bp = 36.1°C, MW = 72.15 g/mol, p = 0.626 g/mL n-Pentanol (CsH1,OH): bp = 138.5°C, MW = 88.15 g/mol, p = 0.814 g/mL %3D a) Can the components of the pentane/n- pentanol solution described above be effectively separated by simple distillation? No. A simple distillation cannot effectively separate these two components because simple distillations are only capable of separating liquid mixture when at least one of the components is water. No. A simple distillation cannot effectively separate these two components because their molecular weights are too similar Yes. A simple distillation can effectively separate these two components because their boiling points are sufficiently different. Yes. A simple distillation can effectively separate these two components because their densities are…
