Human Activities and Water Quality (Section)

Suppose that one wishes to use reverse osmosis to reduce the salt content of brackish water containing 0.22 M total salt concentration to a value of 0.01 M, thus rendering it usable for human consumption. What is the minimum pressure that needs to be applied in the permeators (Figure) to achieve this goal, assuming that the operation occurs at 298 K? (Hint: Refer to Section.)
