WATER OSMOSIS

To estimate the values of "t" over a wider range of temperature, the "N f" values estimated for NaCl and sucrose at 20 0 C by Eqns.(3) and (4) were first substituted into Eq.(2) to compare their calculated osmotic potentials at the "t" value of 2.05-12 s with those established by past work (Cochrane and Cochrane 2007) it was found that the R 2 of the comparisons of their osmotic potential values were highly significant. In view of this finding, in order to establish provisional osmotic potential values over a wider temperature range, it was decided to substitute the "N f" values as calculated at a given temperatures for the NaCl and sucrose solutions via Eqs.(3) and (4) into Eq. (2), together with values of "t" corresponding to those temperatures as recorded in the literature. The "t" values estimated by Davis and Jarzynsky (1972) from Raman spectrum data by Wairafen (1968) over the 0 to 40 0 C range were first used as they calculated the "t" value at 20 0 C as 2.05-12 s, the same..
