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.

Osmotic pressures are often reported in units of atmospheres or mm Hg. The latter impliesthat the height of a column of liquid can be used as a measure of pressure. This is, in fact, thebasis of the torricellian barometer from which the units of “torr” come. The pressure, P, isrelated to the height of the column by:P = ρghwhere ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. Whatwill be the height (in mm) of a column of aqueous solution with a density of 0.9987 g/mL, if theosmotic pressure of the solution at 25 °C is 1.4 mm Hg? The density of mercury at thistemperature is 13.8 g/mL

When considering the effects of osmotic pressure, we assumed that the mem- brane was completely impermeable to the solute. In real life, membranes can be partially permeable to a solute. This situation can be described by a slightly modified form of Equation (4.64) Q12 = ALp(Ap – oAn) where Q12 is the fluid flow rate across the membrane, A is the membrane area, L, is the membrane permeability, Ap is the pressure difference across (4.90) the membrane, o is the osmotic reflection coefficient for the solute, and An is the osmotic pressure difference across the membrane.16 The new feature here is the reflection coefficient, o , which depends on the molecular weight (size) of the solute. Note that o = 1 for a perfectly rejected solute and o = 0 for a freely permeable solute. (a) Suppose that the solute is spherical. Show by a simple proportionality argument that the effective radius of the solute, r,, should vary as r, ~ (MW)!/3, where MW is the molecular weight of the solute. (b) Consider…
