Problem

A tube of uniform cross-sectional area 1 cm21 \text{ cm}^2 is closed at one end with semipermeable membrane. A solution of 5g glucose per 100 mL is placed inside the tube and is dipped in pure water at 27∘C27^{\circ}\text{C} . What equilibrium is established, calculate: Assume density of final glucose solution 1 g/mL1 \text{ g/mL} . (a) Osmotic pressure of solution. (b) Height developed in vertical column.
