29. The spontaneous flow of the solvent through a semipermeable membrane
from a pure solvent to a solution or from a dilute solution to a
concentrated solution is called osmosis. The phenomenon of osmosis can
be demonstrated by taking two eggs of the same size. In an egg, the
membrane belowthe shell andaround the egg materialis semipermeable.
The outer hard shell can be removed by putting the egg in dilute
hydrochloric acid. After removing the hard shell, one egg is placed in
distilled water and the other in a saturated salt solution. After some time,
the egg placed in distilled water swells-up while the egg placed in salt
solution shrinks The external pressure applied to stop the osmosis is
termed as OBmotic pressure (a colligative property). Reverse osmosis takes
place when the applhed external pressure becomes larger than the osmotic
pressure.

30. Amines have a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom dåe to which they
behave as Lewis base. Greater the value of K, or smaller the value of pK,
stronger is the base. Amines are more basic than alcohols, ethers, esters,
etc. The basic character of aliphatic amines should increase with the
increase of alkyl substitution. But it does not occur in a regular manner as
a secondary aliphatic amine is unexpectedly more basic than a tertiary
amine in aqueous solutions. Aromatic amines are weaker bases than
ammonia and aliphatic amines. Electron releasing groups such as -CH,
-0CH, -NH, etc., increase the basicity while electron-withdrawing
substituents such as -NO, -CN, halogens etc., decrease the basicity of
amines. The effect of these substitute is more at p than at mposition.
