Problem:
Suppose a semipermeable membrane separates two solutions. One solution has 0.72g glucose to 1.0L of water; the other has 0.117g NaCl to 1.0 L of water.
Required:
Question: Given that glucose has a molecular weight of 180 and NaCl has a molecular weight of 58.5, what are the following calculations?
Question: The molality and osmolality of each solution.
Question: Will osmosis occur? And if so, in which direction (assuming the membrane is permeable to water but not to glucose or NaCl).
Please show all the calculations step by step.
