Q

Factors influencing the EC and IC compartments

Osmotic pressure

A
  • The major driving force
  • According to Van’t Hoff principle: ​P = C x R x T
    • P = ​Osmotic pressure
    • C = concentration of the dissolved substance
    • R = general gas constant
    • T = temperature
  • P = r x C x R x T
    • ​r = reflected coefficient
      • If r = 1 the membrane is semipermable
      • The reflection coefficient varies between 0 and 1

Q

Factors influencing the EC and IC compartments

Molarity

A
  • Molarity: concentration of a solution expressed as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution​
  • Measured in mol/l
  • For anelectrolites
    • 1 mol dissolved in 1 L = osmotic pressure of 2.27 MPa

Q

Factors influencing the EC and IC compartments

Molality

A
  • Molality: the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent
  • Measured in mol/kg
  • Correlated with freezing point depression
    • For anaelectrolites concentration is related to freezing point depression
    • For electrolites concentration should be multiplied by the dissociation constant

Q

Factors influencing the EC and IC compartments

Osmolality

A
  • Measured in 1 osmol/kg = 6x1023 dissolved substance/kg solvent
  • Osmolality is the common index number for the osmotic effect of electrolites and anelectrolites
  • You can conclude to the real osmolality from the freezing point depression
  • For dilute anelectolite solutions:
    • Mosmol/kg = mmol/kg
  • For concentrated solution
    • Mosmol/kg = mmol/kg x g
      • g: osmotic coefficient
  • For complete dissociation
    • Mosoml/kg = mmol/kg x number of dissociated ions
