To produce 21.0 liters of freshwater through reverse osmosis, you would need approximately 31.69 liters of seawater.
To calculate the volume of seawater required to produce freshwater through reverse osmosis, we need to use the ideal gas law equation. The equation is PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
First, we need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15: 25°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K.
Next, we need to calculate the number of moles of salt in 21.0 liters of freshwater. Since seawater has a colligative molarity of 1.10 M, which means there are 1.10 moles of salt per liter, we can multiply the molarity by the volume: 1.10 M x 21.0 L = 23.10 moles.
Now we can rearrange the ideal gas law equation to solve for the volume of seawater:
V = (nRT) / P = (23.10 mol x 0.08206 L・atm/mol・K x 298.15 K) / (65 atm) = 31.69 liters
