| Popis: | Intermolecular interactions in liquids are proposed to give rise to dynamic structures which are propagated as a wave through the medium. In the pure solvent the wavelength of this motion, which determines the size of the oscillating clusters, is set by the thermodynamic conditions. However, the presence of solutes shortens the wavelength thus decreasing cluster size. At the solvent-solution boundary the differently sized clusters interact to bring about equilibrium. This picture provides us with a simple interpretation of osmotic effects. |
