Chapter 6, Problem 6RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Similarities between 0.5 m (molar) sodium chloride solution and 1.0 m glucose solution.
Introduction:
Osmolality stands for the total molality of a solution. It also represents the number of dissolved molecules in a solution. The solutions with equal osmolalities is separated by a selectively permeable membrane which would not demonstrate any osmosis.
