Problem assessing Lecture 8(solve in week 9).
3.(25 points) An engineer is exploring the possibility of producing drinking water from seawater using the underwater device shown in Figure 1. The system uses the difference between the pressure outside the device (i.e., the ocean) and inside the device (\( p_{o}=1\mathrm{bar}\)) to drive pure water across a selective membrane that completely rejects salt, thus producing pure water by reverse osmosis. The ocean and the underwater device are at an equal and constant temperature of \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\).

a) Write the equation for the thermodynamic condition satisfied if the water in the device and the surrounding seawater attain equilibrium.
