Question

Osmotic pressure of a solution is

• A. Equal to the pure solvent
• B. Lesser than the pure solvent
• C. Greater than the pure solvent.
• D. Both (B) and (C)

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Greater than the pure solvent.

Osmotic pressure is the excess amount of pressure that is applied to the solution to prevent the solvent to move to the solution through the semi-permeable membrane.

Hence the option (C) osmotic pressure of the solution greater than pure solvent is correct.
