Define osmotic pressure.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Osmosis : The spontaneous flow of solvent particles from a solution of lower concentration in to higher concentration through semi permeable membrane is called osmosis.
Osmotic pressure : The pressure required to prevent the flow of solvent particles from pure solvent into solution through semipermeable membrane is called osmotic pressure.
