The membrane that is permeable to solvent but prevents the passage of solutes
The most appropriate characteristic of a semi-permeable membrane is that
(a) it has minute pores. (b) it has no pores.
(c) it allows the solute to pass through but not the solvent.
(d) it allows a solvent to pass through freely but prevents the passage of the solute.
Osmotic pressure is the maximum pressure that must be exerted to prevent the passage of solvent into the solution when the two are separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
The excess pressure that must be applied to solution to prevent the passage of solvent into solution through a semipermeable membrane is called
