Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Osmotic pressure depends on the number of particles in solution but not on their charge or iden-tity. A 2 solution has twice the osmotic pressure of a 1 solution under similar pressures. For a given amount of solute, osmotic pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of solvent. Os-motic pressure varies directly with temperature, increasing by 1/273 for each 1 C.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Osmotic pressure can also be visualized as an attractive force of solute particles in a concentrated solution. If 100 ml of a 50 solution is placed on one side of a membrane and 100 ml of a 30 solution is placed on the other side, solvent molecules will move from the dilute to the concen-trated side (Figure 13-2, D and E). The particles in the concentrated solution attract solvent mol-ecules from the dilute solution until equilibrium occurs. Equilibrium exists when the concentra-tions (i.e., ratio of solute to solvent) in both compartments are equal (40 in Figure 13-2).
