Speed Distribution

Many explanations for the movement of water across a membrane have been presented. One idea proposes that osmosis is the movement of water in response to a vapor pressure difference. It is difficult to accept this model for osmosis without a good understanding of the existence of a vapor in a liquid. We propose a model for a vapor in a liquid. The model is based upon the kinetic theory of gas and Maxwell's predicted speed distribution. Since vapor pressure and total kinetic energy are both expressions of the energy of a gas, we compare the model to published values of vapor pressure for water, ice, and several other liquids. Based upon this limited comparison, it appears that this model may be a universal model for the continuous existence of a vapor in a liquid or a solid.
