standard state

22
Q

The ____ activity of a component is the _____ of activity in an observed state relative to its value in the standard state

A

relative activity; ratio of activity

23
Q

T or F: Activity is dimensionless

A

True

24
Q

Standard state of a solvent is the pure liquid at ___ atmosphere and at a definite temperature. Therefore, for the pure liquid, a = ___

A

1; 1

25
Q

T or F: If the liquid solute isn’t miscible with the solvent, the standard state is the pure solute

A

False; if the liquid solute is miscible with the solvent

26
Q

T or F: If a solute has a limited solubility, the standard state is a hypothetical solution of unit concentration under conditions of ideal behavior (the solution has characteristics of an infinitely dilute solution)

A

True

27
Q

Activity is a measure of the _____ tendency of a component in the system, which vapor pressure is a component of

A

Escaping tendency

28
Q

T or F: Escaping tendency (vapor pressure) is much lower in alcohol vs. water

A

29
Q

30
Q

Most units of reverse osmosis use a _____ _____ membrane which preferentially permits water to pass through over ions and dissolved matter

A

cellulose acetate

31
Q

The pores in RO membranes are 5-20 Angstrom units in diameter, which is __-__ cm, and therefore molecules larger than the pores (i.e. with a molecular weight greater than ___) are separated by a simple sieve process

A

5x10^-8 to 2.5x10^-7

MW > 200

32
Q

Rejection of salts is as high as ___%, while rejection of most organics is ___%, thus water of extremely high quality can be produced

A

98%; 100%

33
Q

T or F: In osmosis, water will flow because of potential energy differences from the less concentrated to the more concentrated solution until the system is in equilibrium

A

True

34
Q

T or F: The addition of pressure to the concentrated solution will stop the transport of water across the membrane when the applied pressure equals the apparent osmotic pressure between the two solutions

A

True

35
Q

T or F: Apparent osmotic pressure is the difference in the absolute osmotic pressure of each solution. Such a difference is a measurement of the potential energy difference between the two solutions

A

True

36
Q

T or F: The absolute osmotic pressure is the potential energy difference between any solution and water

A

True

37
Q

T or F: As more pressure is released from the more concentrated side, the water begins to flow from the more concentrated side to the less concentrated side

A

False; as more pressure is applied to the more concentrated side
