Question

Define Osmotic potential and Osmotic pressure

Open in App

Solution

Osmotic Potential: It is the potential of solution that makes water move from low solute concentration to high solute concentration across a semipermeable membrane.Pure water has zero potential, so for solutions the value will be always negative as they have less water because of the presence of solute.
