Two piston-cylinder systems are connected by a semipermeable membrane that allows only water to pass. Both cylinders contain water and NaCl. The left cylinder is pressurized to 15bar and its temperature is maintained at 320K. The right cylinder is maintained at a temperature of 420K. Determine the pressure that must be excerted on the right cylinder so that in chemical equilibrium the mole fraction of salt in both containers is X₁ X₁R=0.05.
