Study the following figure showing osmosis and mark the correct statement.
A
The external pressure applied on the solution to stop
osmosis is called osmotic pressure.
B
The external pressure applied on the solvent to stop
osmosis is called osmotic pressure
C
The hydrostatic pressure built up on solvent which just
stops osmosis is osmotic pressure
D
Pressure developed by solvent while solution through
semi permeable membrane.
Answer
The external pressure applied on the solution to stop
osmosis is called osmotic pressure.
Explanation
Solution
The external pressure which must be applied on the solution in order to stop the flow of solvent to the solution through semi permeable membrane is called osmotic pressure.
