Wastewater discharged into a stream by a sugar refinery contains 1.70 g of sucrose (C12H22O11) per liter. A government-industry project is designed to test the feasibility of removing the sugar by reverse osmosis. What pressure must be applied to the apparatus at 20.°C to produce pure water?

A pressure value more than 0.012 atm must be applied to the apparatus at 20.0°C to produce pure water.

Explanation:

When pressure more than the value of osmotic pressure of the solution is applied to the solution then water will move out from the solution which is termed as reverse osmosis.

Given that 1.70 grams of sucrose was present in 1 L of solution.

Moles of sucrose present in 1 liter of solution  =

C = 0.004971 mol/L

Temperature of the solution = T = 20.0°C = 20.0+273 K = 293 K

Osmotic pressure of soluion =

A pressure value more than 0.012 atm must be applied to the apparatus at 20.0°C to produce pure water.

> b takes place in the gas phase in an isothermal tubular reactor. the feed is one mole of a per one mole of c, an inert. the entering temperature and pressure are 427°c and 10 atm, respectively. the gas constant r = 0.08206 atm · l/mol · k.

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
