Solution

The correct option is D all of these
Osmotic pressure can be defined as the minimum pressure that must be applied to a solution to halt the flow of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane (osmosis). It is dependent on the concentration of solute particles, ionization of the solutes and temperature.

Q. Assertion :

0.1 M K C l, 0.1 M K_{2} {S O}_{4}

solutions cause the same osmotic pressure in solution. Reason: Osmotic pressure depends on the number of particles present in the solution.

Q. Statement - I : Osmotic pressure of a dilute solution is inversely proportional to its concentration provided temperature remains constant.
Statement - II : Osmotic pressure is a colligative properly and depends upon the number of moles of solute dissolved in a definite volume of the solution.

Q. Which of these is a unit of measurement of water potential/osmotic pressure?

There are 2 adjacent living cells A & B. The cell ‘A’ has osmotic potential ( $Ψ$ s) of - 7 bars, and pressure potential ( $Ψ_{p}$ ) of 5 bars, whereas cell ‘B’ has osmotic potential ( $Ψ_{s}$ ) of – 8 bars and pressure potential ( $Ψ_{p}$ ) of 3 bars, what will be the direction of water flow in these cells?
