What is Osmolarity?

It has something to do with osmosis, I know that much. At least I'm pretty sure it has to do with it. sweatdrop

Right now, something I wonder about is the use of reverse-osmosis for water purification.
What is it that you would like to know, perhaps one of can help you understand reverse-osmosis better.

I'm wondering how exactly it works. I understand osmosis is the moving of water into a cell, so reverse osmosis would be removing it from the cell?
How exactly would it help water purification?


Reverse osmosis uses a membrane that is semi-permeable, allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting the contaminants that remain. Most reverse osmosis technology uses a process known as crossflow to allow the membrane to continually clean itself. As some of the fluid passes through the membrane the rest continues downstream, sweeping the rejected species away from the membrane. The process of reverse osmosis requires a driving force to push the fluid through the membrane, and the most common force is pressure from a pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving force. As the concentration of the fluid being rejected increases, the driving force required to continue concentrating the fluid increases.

Ah, I get it now. ^^
Danke. x3

Oops. Haha, I got so carried away, I didn't even realize that you couldn't answer 'yes' or 'no' to it. Forgive my mistake.
Umm... How is one to answer the question?

Science whee

I luv science

Cept when i have headaches

Then i like naps.....

WE SHOULD HAVE A NAP THREAD!! scream
^-^ Yes, that would be a very interesting thread... full of ZzzzzZzz's

I'll change it, just give me a minute.
It shall say, "Are you familiar with biology?"

No. Science is measured at a starting and ending point, most sciences anyways. God is infinite and with no beginning nor end. Nice humor, though. I have people ask me that too much. razz

Oo, I have another question!

What is the concept of molarity and what it its relationship to osmotic concentration?

Does molarity have to do with how you calculate osmolarity? I'm so confused!

Lies and slander! ninja
Well, I can't say much in Japanese.
Introduction, how-are-you's, and insults so far.
Trying to learn more. ^^;
