Osmotic pressure of a solution is

A

greater than that of pure solvent

B

less than that of pure solvent

C

equal to that of pure solvent

D

less than or greater than that of pure solvent

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Osmotic pressure of a solutionis greater than that of pure solvent, when a solution is separated from pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent begins to flow towards the solution due to the development of osmotic pressure.
