Thinner? You have some viscosity data to back this up?


Yep

Hmm.... Fresh water @60F, 1.13 Centistokes, sea water @? 1.15 cSt, looks like fresh water is in fact thinner?

Pretty small difference though, plus a huge variation with temperature, surely this is not the explanation?
Instead of the insipid one word repartee, why not be a little less obtuse and simply provide us with your explanation for
the problem at hand?

More likely fresh water exhibits a higher osmotic pressure because the difference in water
concentration is greater in fresh than brine. (osmotic pressure being proportional to the differences in concentration on either side of the membrane)
