Essay

Consider the experiment of Jean-Antoine Nollet as described in the text,
which illustrates the osmotic pressure between water and wine. Assume wine is 12% (by volume) of ethanol in water, and estimate, as in Example 14.4, the height of a column of water that the osmotic pressure between water and wine can support. Note that the van 't Hoff factor depends on the nature of the solvent and that a value of i ≈ 1.0 is appropriate for ethanol in water.
