The osmotic pressure of a solution can be increased by

A

Increasing the volume

B

Increasing the number of solute molecules

C

Decreasing the temperature

D

Removing semipermeable membrane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Osmotic pressure is affected by concentration and temperature. Concentration of solute and temperature each affect the amount of pressure created by the movement of water across a membrane. Higher concentrations and higher temperatures increase osmotic pressure.
