It is a commonly recognized fact that rise in temperature causes a marked increase in the rate of osmosis and dialysis and also increases the osmotic pressure developed by a solution separated from the pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane. A review of the literature covering these subjects shows that relatively little attention has been given to the effect of temperature except in its direct effect on the osmotic pressure of a solution. H. N. Morse and his coworkers' and numerous others have investigated this phase of the subject quite extensively. However, nothing in a quantitative way is recorded concerning the rate of passage of material through a membrane as affected by temperature. G. Flusin has shown by experiments on rubber membranes* and on pig's bladder3that the direction and velocity of transfer of liquids across these membranes depend on the absorption capacity of the membrane for the liquids. Carbon disulphide which is absorbed readily by rubber passes quickly through a rubber membrane into alcohol, whereas chlorobenzene and nitrobenzene which are not readily absorbed pass through very slowly. Water which is taken up in large quantities by hog's bladder passes through rapidly and chloroform which is absorbed much less passes through proportionally slower. He decided that the velocity of osmosis did not depend on the maximum amount of absorption but upon the energy with which the membrane takes up the liquid during the first minute of contact. His experiments were carried out under controlled temperature conditions, but no attempt was made to determine the effect of different temperatures on the velocity. The present paper records the results of experiments made to determine the effects of definite changes of temperature on the rate of establishment of equilibrium in ( I ) a system composed of pure pyridine separated from pure water by a thin rubber membrane and ( 2 ) a system composed of a one-half molar solution of sodium chloride in water separated from pure water by a collodion membrane. Experiments showing the Effect of Temperature Changes on the Passage of Pyridine through a Thin Rubber Membrane into Water. The pyridine was pure and freshly distilled before use. The water was distilled and free from dissolved gases. The rubber used for the membrane was a high grade of dental dam, very uniform in weight and quality. The thickness of the unstretched sheet was 0.3 + .os mm. 'Am.Chem. J.,45,91,237,383,517, (1911). 2Compt. rend., 126, 1497 (1898). Compt. rend., 131, 1308 (1900).

No originality is claimed for the cell and stirring arrangement, the design of which was derived from the apparatus used by Kahlenberg' in his work on osmosis and dialysis. Fig.1 gives the essential details of the apparatus. The cell was a cylindrical nickel-plated drum, 3 centimeters in diameter and 4.2 centimeters in height. The area of the open end was 7.07 square centimeters. Around the bottom and open end of the drum was a rolled

FIQ.I

flange which made it easy to fasten on the membrane. A bar was fastened across the inside of the cell about 0.5 centimeter from the bottom, the function of which was to prevent the stirrer from dropping down into direct contact with the membrane. The upper and closed end of the cell was fitted with a metallic tube 5 centimeters long and exactly the same diameter as a glass tube which was firmly fastened to it by means of rubber tubing and wire. A hollow cylinder carrying a large number of turns of fine wire formed an electromagnet which operated the stirrer. This electro-magnet was connected to a source of direct current through a rheostat and adjustable make and break contact. The long glass tube extending up from the cell rested against a millimeter scale upon which the rise of the liquid in the cell could be conveniently read. The rubber membrane was tied over the mouth of the cell by means of strong thread, care being taken to obtain a taut surface without J. Phys. Chem., 10, 141 (1906).

stretching the rubber. After the rubber was in place a piece of new, washed muslin, weighing 0.0133 gram per square centimeter was tied over the mouth of the cell. Some such support was obviously necessary to prevent the bulging and stretching of the rubber under the weight of the column of liquid. Xew pieces of rubber and cloth were used for each experiment.

FIG.2

The cell, filled with water and free from air bubbles and with the meniscus on the scale, was placed in a glass cup or beaker containing the pyridine. The beaker was covered by a slit cover fitting around the cell, and then placed in a thermostat capable of regulation to less than 0.j°C. The cell was always immersed to the same depth in the pyridine. The water in the cell and the pyridine in the beaker were brought to the temperature of the thermostat before lowering the cell into position. The rise of the liquid in the glass tube was observed and recorded in centimeters. By careful calibration it was found that the tube, which was excep-

tionally uniform in bore, contained 5 2 cubic millimeters for every centimeter of its length. From this the scale readings were converted into volumes passing through the membrane. Dividing this value by the area of the membrane gave the volume passing through one square centimeter. These are the values used in plotting the results. Stirring of the inner liquid took place every 18 or 2 0 seconds. Kahlenberg' has shown that stirring is absolutely necessary in quantitative measurements of osmosis and osmotic pressure. His contentions in regard to this point of t,echnique were again shown to be correct in the experiments herein recorded. More or less rapid and uniform stirring was necessary in order to obtain uniform and concordant results in the experiments recorded below. It is only reasonable to assume that, without stirring, the pyridine passing through the rubber would form a very concentrated solution of pyridine in water which would remain in close proximity to the membrane. The pyridine would only diffuseslowlyintothe water intheupper part of the cell. Thislayer of concentrated solution would retard the flow of pyridine through themembrane. A false equilibrium would thus be set up between this layer and the pure pyridine emerging from the membrane. The purpose of the experiments is to measure the rate of attainment of equilibrium between the uniform contents of the cell and pure pyridine. Stirring the contents of the cell causes the concentration to be maintained nearly uniform throughout. Experiments were conducted at ten degree intervals from 5'C. to 85°C. The results are given in Tables I to IX and are plotted in Fig. 2. Checking experiments were made a t each temperature. To conserve space the averages are given in the tables, except at 35%. where two runs are given to indicate the small differences usually occurring. At 65", 75' and 85'C. the amount of error increases slightly due probably to thc greater difficulties of manipulation at the higher temperatures. Toward the end of the experiments at these higher temperatures the rate of passage increased somewhat. This is shown

by the upward trend of the curves a t 6 5 O , 75" and 8s'. This result is undoubtedly due to the solvent action of the hot pyridine on the rubber, causing the membrane t o be thinner et the end of the experiment than it was at the beginning. The membranes in contact with pyridine at a temperature of 85°C. were YO far disintegrated at the end of 70 to 80 minutes that they would no longer sustain the column of liquid.

Experiments showing the Effect of Temperature Changes on the Passage of Sodium Chloride from a One-half Molar Solution through a Collodion Membrane into Water. The sodium chloride was purified by precipitation with hydrogen chloride. The water was distilled and had been boiled to free it from dissolved gases. The collodion sack was prepared by pouring an alcohol-ether solution of nitrocellulose into a large test tube, rotating the tube and draining out the excess solution. After a short time had elapsed the membrane was removed from the tube and washed thoroughly in distilled water. The membrane was perfectly transparent. X large cork stopper which had a large hole cut in the center and which had been thoroughly covered on its entire surface with collodion was fitted into the mouth of the sack. The sack itself was 13 centimeters long and 4 centimeters in diameter. When IOOCC. of solution were placed in the sack 85 square centimeters of surface were presented for dialysis. The bag was suspended in a one and one-half liter beaker by means of a wire clamp attached to the cork and fitted over the side of the beaker. The beaker was immersed in the same thermostat used in the esperiments with rubber membranes. A glass stirrer passed through the hole in the cork stopper and effectively agitated the contents of the sack. Another stirrer circulated rhe contents of the beaker. IOOCC. of the salt solution were placed in the bag and IPOOCC. of distilled water in the beaker. The solution and the water in the beaker were both brought to the temperature of the thermostat before lowering the sack into the water IOCC. samples were drawn every 5 minutes from the beaker. The contents of the beaker were agitated with a current of air just before drawing each sample. This was done to make certain that there was not a layer of concentrated solution a t the bottom of the beaker which had not been completely eliminated by the action of the mechanical stirrer. IOCC. of pure water at the temperature of the experiment were added for every IOCC.of solution withdrawn. Corrections were made for this continual dilution.

The chloride was determined in each sample drawn by means of a N, I O O solution of silver nitrate, using potassium chromate as indicator. Experiments were performed at ten-degree intervals from z ; O C to 6 j"C. Two or more experiments were conducted at each temperature and it was found possible to check within small margins between two runs at the same temperature. The quantity of salt in the system a t the end of a run as calculated from the analytical results checked the amount in the original IOOCC.

When the transfer of sodium chloride became almost zero the contents of the sack in each experiment measured approximately I IOCC. indicating a flow of water through the collodion membrane toward the salt solution. The same membrane was used for the first seven runs. This membrane was accidentally broken and a new one had to be prepared. To determine whether results from two different membranes were comparable, some of the determinations made with the first membrane were repeated with the new one. These determinations checked almost as closely as those made with the same membrane. It is thus possible to prepare two collodion membranes from the

The amount of sodium chloride in milligrams passing through one square centimeter of the collodion membrane in five minutes was calculated from the analytical data. These are the values given in column three of Tables X to XIV and used in plotting against time in Figs. 3 and 4.
