When two solvents are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water flows from low solute concentrations to high solute concentrations. What would happen if external pressure is applied to the solution with higher solute concentration?

It is the net movement of watermolecules through a semi- permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration (lower solvent concentration). -Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane.
