Which of the following condition is correct for reverse osmosis? [ C = . Concentration of solution in mol L ⁻¹ ; T = Temperature in Kelvin scale; n = no of moles of solute]
Options
- AP _ ext = CRT
- BP _ ext > CRT
- CP _ ext < CRT
- DP _ ext > nRT
Correct answer
B. P _ ext > CRT
Step-by-step solution
In reverse osmosis, the solvent molecules moves from high concentration solution to low concentration solution through a semipermeable membrane when the external pressure exceeds the osmotic pressure.
