Question

Answer the following in one or two sentences.

What is osmotic pressure?

Short Answer

Solution

Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure that must be applied to a solution to stop the phenomenon of osmosis.
Osmatic pressure exists only when the solution is separated from the solvent by a suitable kind of semipermeable membrane.
