i posted this under general mcat discussion but i was trying to post them here.
ok so EK says that
there is higher concentration on side B....water flows from A to B.
osmotic pressure at b = Pb - Pa = pghb - pgha ... a and b are subscripts...why this is equation useful?
also when water is flowing into side b, does the osmotic pressure stay the same or change because the water changes the molarity of the solution. I guess as soon as the water starts flowing, the osmotic pressure decreases till it hits 0....and equilibrium is established.
