Problem
Freshwater lakes receive water from the oceans through evaporation by sunlight. Consider the ocean to be made entirely of NaCl of 0.4 M in ionic strength and the lake to be 0.001 M in MgCl2. Compute the free energy required to transfer 1 mol of pure water from ocean to lake. Assume a constant temperature of 298 K.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
