Osmotic Pressure
14. Solutions / Osmotic Pressure / Problem 1

Israel has built plants that turn seawater into freshwater. Calculate the maximum volume of freshwater that can be obtained from 1.25 L of seawater if the reverse osmosis equipment in the plant exerts a maximum pressure of 105.0 atm. Assume that seawater is composed only of 0.540 M NaCl and 0.072 M CaCl2 which are completely dissociated, and that the temperature of the water is only 25 °C.
