Vedclass · Answer

(A) Osmotic pressure is defined as the pressure required to prevent the movement of solvent molecules into a solution through a semi-permeable membrane.Pure solvent has an osmotic pressure of $0$ (or is considered to have the lowest potential).When solutes are added to a solvent to form a solution,the osmotic pressure increases.Therefore,the osmotic pressure of a solution is always greater than that of a pure solvent.
