AN EXPERIMENT

INTRODUCTION
The phenomenon of flow of solvent from dilute solution to the concentrated solution across a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis

OSMOTIC PRESSURE
It is the extra pressure which when applied to the solution side just stops the flow of solvent.

PROPERTIES OF OSMOTIC PRESSURE

Colligative

property :- depends on no. of solute moleucules and not on their identity. At a given temperature = CRT where, c= concentration R= 8.314 J/mol K

CTD

= (n2 / V )RT n2 = w2 /M2 where w2 = grams of solute

M2 = molar mass of
solute

APPLICATION:An effective means to determine molar masses of solutes . Widely used to determine molar masses of protiens , polymers and other macromolecules. Particularly useful for biomolecules as they are generally not stable at higher temp. and polymers have lower solubility.

ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER METHODS

use of molarity instead of molality Large change in osmotic pressure even for very small change in concentration

REVERSE OSMOSIS AND WATER PURIFICATION

Desalination plants
