Osmotic Pressure Difference.
Not what you're looking for?
Brackish water with a salt content around .5 percent by mass is found in semiarid regions such as the American Southwest. Assuming that brackish water has the same density as pure water and contains only sodium chloride, estimate the osmotic pressure of brackish water at 298K.
A hint is that the the total molarity is the sum of the molarities of Na+ and Cl-.
