Does osmotic pressure depend on the quantities of the outer membrane solvent?
$$\pi V = nRT$$
What is the osmotic pressure at $\pu{25^oC}$ of an aqueous solution of 0.0010 M $\ce{C12H22O11}$ (sucrose)?
We just need to substitute the data into equation (13.4)
$$\pi = \frac{\pu{...

Osmotic pressure for non-electrical neutral region of a solution
For calculation of the osmotic pressure, we can use Van't Hoff equation as below:
π=CRT
If we put the solution in an electrical field, the cations and anions move towards negative and positive pols, ...

Do solids in a solution also apply partial pressure? If yes, can this be used as an intuitive explanation for osmosis?
I know that in a mixture of different gases, we can assign every type of gas molecules a partial pressure so that the total pressure is the sum of all partial pressures. This can be extended to gas ...

How does hydraulic equilibrium work on the particulate level?
I recently learned that osmosis occurs when there is a semipermeable membrane between pure water and a solution of water. The pure water then fills up the solution's side until, as my textbook put it,

Using osmotic pressure to find the molar mass of a compound
Working on-board a research vessel somewhere at sea, you have (carefully) isolated 12.5 micrograms $(\pu{12.5E-6 g})$ of what you hope is pure saxitoxin (a non-electrolyte) from a poisonous (and quite ...

Molar mass of a protein from osmotic pressure
The height of a column of liquid that can be supported by a given pressure is inversely proportional to its density. An aqueous solution
of $0.010 g$ of a protein in $10 mL$ of water at $20^oC$ ...

What does the osmotic pressure do in an electrolytic solution?
I have learnt that in an electrochemical cell, the osmotic pressure in the solution hinders the flow of ions from the electrode to the solution, rather some ions may accumulate on the electrode ...
