Book Description
Excerpt from Surface Tension and Vital Phenomena It must also be admitted that in some signal instances in which the physicist and chemist attempted to aid in the solution of biological problems the result has not been quite satisfactory. Especially has this been the result in the case of membranes. Arrhenius' theory of dissociation and van 't Hofi's gas theory of solutions were supported by such an array of facts from the side of physics and physical chemistry that there appeared to be no question whatever regarding their universal validity, and their application in the study of the phenomena of osmosis was urged with acclaim by physical chemists and eagerly welcomed by physiologists. The theories promised at first to explain all the processes involved in difiusion through membranes, but the final result was not in all cases what was expected. In illustration of this. One instance will suffice. The osmotic concentration of the blood in man as measured by the depression of the freezing point (a) ranges from -o.s6 to The concentration of the urine indicated in the same way is, except under rare conditions. Always greater than this, and its value usually ranges between - l.50° and -s.oo° C that is, from more than two to five times that of the blood plasma. This result is the very opposite of that which should be expected from the application of the theories of Arrhenius and van 't Hoff.
