Chapter 13, Problem 13.107SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

How deep should pipe be immersed into sea for begin to pass through the membrane to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Osmosis is net progress of solvent molecule via semi permeable membrane from low concentration region to high concentration region until equilibrium is attained. Osmosis is spontaneous reaction.

Osmotic pressure is the pressure that is needed to stop osmosis. Osmotic pressure of the solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution. We can calculate osmotic pressure by using this formula is given by,

$\text{π = iMRT}$

Where,

$\begin{array}{l}\text{π- Osmotic pressure}\\ \text{i- van't Hoff factor}\\ \text{M- Molarity of the solution(mol/L)}\\ \text{R- Universal gas constant}\\ \text{T- Temperature (Kelvin)}\end{array}$
