Chapter 14, Problem 98IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason due to which the net transfer of water is stopped when the concentration of two solutions is nearly equal not exactly equal needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Osmotic pressure of dilute solutions of nonelectrolytes is given by the following formula.

$\pi =\frac{nRT}{V}$

p − osmotic pressure

n − number of moles of solute

R − universal gas constant

T − absolute temperature

V - volume
