what is mean by osmotic pressure?
Answers
Hey mate....
Osmotic pressure is the excess pressure required to be applied to a solution to prevent osmosis when the solution is separated from a solvent via semipermeable membrane, usually denoted by ‘π.’
According to Van’t Hoff’s law, Osmotic Pressure formula is given by
Osmotic Pressure = iRTc
Where,
i = number of ions created by dissociation of solute molecules
R = ideal gas constant
T = absolute temperature in K
C = molar or molal concentration
The formula which relates osmotic pressure to temperature and concentration is similar to ideal gas equation.
Hope this helps you
Explanation:
▶Define Osmotic Pressure !
________________________________
Osmotic Pressure ➡ Osmotic Pressure is the minimum pressure that must be exerted to prevent the passage of the pure solvent into the solution when the two are separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmotic Pressure of a solution is a measure of its tendency to take in water by Osmosis.
