Chapter 11, Problem 11.89QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given statement is to be authenticated and the answer is to be explained.

Concept introduction: Semipermeable membrane is a thin film which is present almost in both living and nonliving things. Solvent always flows from lower concentration to higher concentration. This process of solvent flow is known as osmosis. Now if another side external pressure is applied then this process reversed and this applied reverse pressure is known as osmotic pressure. Nonelectrolytes are the non-ionic compounds whose van’t Hoff factor value is always one.

To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “For solutions of the same reverse osmotic pressure at the same temperature the molarity of a solution of $\text{NaCl}$ will always be less than the molarity of a solution of ${\text{CaCl}}_2$”.
