Define osmotic pressure.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a solution is separated from a solvent by a semi-permeable membrane or if a dilute solution is separated from concentrated solution by a semipermeable membrane, the pressure that just prevents passage of solvent into solution or solvent from dilute solution into concentrated solution is called osmotic pressure.
