Question

difference between osmotic potential and osmotic pressure​

Answer 1

Osmotic pressure: pressure applied by a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmotic potential: the potential of water molecules to move from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution across a semi-permeable membrane. i = van 't Hoff factor of the solute.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline{\underline{\pink{\sf Answer}}}$

$\star\:\sf Osmotic \ Potential\:\star$

✭ It can be defined as the decrease in potential of pure water due to the presence of particles in them.

✭ Osmotic Potential is developed in a confirmed as well as open system.

✭ The values are negative in Osmotic Potential.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$\star\:\sf Osmotic \ Pressure\:\star$

✭ Osmotic Pressure is defined as the actual pressure that gets developed in a solution and are being seperated from pure water with the help of a semi permeable membrane.

✭ Osmotic Pressure gets developed in a confirmed system.

✭ The values are positive in Osmotic Pressure.
