My chemistry teacher assigned my group to make a presentation about the connection of osmosis to osmotic pressure and solution as electrolytes. This is presentation has pictures and illustrations but slideshare convert it as a normal photo so it is unseen ,but if you want to see the original presentation just comment below and I will send it to your e-mail !!!!
4. Osmosis occurs when two solutions of
different concentrations are separated by a
membrane which will selectively
allow some species through
it but not others.
5. Then, material flows from the less
concentrated to the more
concentrated side of the
membrane. A membrane which
is selective in the way just
described is said to be
semipermeable.
7. When two water (or other solvent)
volumes are separated by a semi-permeable
membrane, water will flow from the
volume of low solute concentration, to the
volume of high solute concentration. The
flow may be stopped, or even reversed by
applying external pressure on the volume
of higher concentration. In such a case the
phenomenon is called reverse osmosis.
8. *ALWAYS REMEMBER *
•If there are solute molecules
only in one volume of the
system, then the pressure on
it, that stops the flow, is
called the osmotic pressure.
14. Some solutions, because they
contain ions, also serve as
electrolytes. In the human
body, the transfer of nerve
impulses from various receptors
to the brain involve a flow of
ions in a liquid medium.
15. Substances that give ions when dissolved
in water are called electrolytes. They can be
divided into acids, bases, and salts, because
they all give ions when dissolved in water.
These solutions conduct electricity due to
the mobility of the positive and negative
ions, which are
called cations and anions respectively.
• Strong electrolytes completely ionize when
dissolved, and no neutral molecules are
formed in solution.
16. • Many industrial products also use
electrolytes. These include dry cells for
radios, flashlights, and other electrical
devices; storage batteries for cars;
and, fuel cells for rockets. Industrial
manufacturing process use this property
of solutions in the electroplating of car
parts and in the manufacture of rubber
products.
