Mechanism included in mwco membrane | Homework Helpers

1) Explain the mechanism included in MWCO membrane of dialysis with reference to NaCl and glucose movement. 

From the following given list answer the questions:

Molecular weight of NaCl   –   58.44

Molecular weight of Na  –  22.990

Molecular weight of Cl    – 35.453

Molecular weight of Urea  – 60.07

Molecular weight of Albumin –  66.430 kDa

Molecular weight of Glucose –   180.15588

a) For NaCl, which MWCO membrane(s) offered for the net movement of water without the movement of NaCl?

b) Describe how you determined this ?

c) For glucose, which MWCO membrane(s) offered for the net movement of glucose without net movement of water?

d) Explain how you determined this?

e) Whether the osmotic pressure is generated if solutes diffuse freely?

f)  Describe how the solute concentration affects the osmotic pressure.
