Chemistry / Re: How to estimate time until concentration equilibrium?
« on: 22/08/2023 19:02:51 »Thanks for clarifying that pi means the osmotic pressure rather than pi.pi = iMRTIMO, it's hidden in the dimension of osmotic pressure pi, which is ML(-1)T(-2).
The higher the value of pi, the lower the equilibrium time will be. It can be done by increasing temperature.
As you said, diameter and length of the connecting tube will also be influential.
That makes more sense now.
But rates of reaction are not strongly related to osmotic pressure.
Osmotic pressure is, itself, an equilibrium process and "getting to equilibrium" has kinetics of its own and an associated timescale.
