Abstract
I WILL add only one short note to what I have said. Consider two cases. (1) One atmosphere of hydrogen on each side of the septum and no nitrogen. The osmotic pressure is zero. (2) Two atmospheres of nitrogen inside the chamber and again one atmosphere of hydrogen on each side. This also is an equilibrium case and the osmotic pressure is TWO atmospheres. By what wild theory is this attributed to the ONE atmosphere of hydrogen!
