Question

What is abnormal osmotic pressure?

Answer 1

Osmotic pressure:

• “The flow of the solvent from its side to the solution side across a semipermeable membrane can be stopped if some extra pressure is applied to the solution. This pressure that just stops the flow of solvent is called osmotic pressure of the solution”.

Abnormal osmotic pressure:

• Abnormal osmotic pressure is the difference between the calculated and measured values of a solution's osmotic pressure that results from the association or dissociation of the solution's solute particles.
• When the dissolved solute undergoes a molecular change, such as association or dissociation, this occurs.
• Human health is impacted by abnormal osmotic pressure.
• Nutrient absorption is hindered by abnormal osmotic pressure.
