Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure: Osmosis is a process by which a solvent, such as water, passes through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. In other words, osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution of lower solute concentration (hypotonic) to a solution of higher solute concentration (hypertonic) across a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmotic pressure is the pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semi-permeable membrane due to osmosis. It is a colligative property, meaning that it depends on the number of solute particles in a solution, regardless of their identity.
Some key properties of osmosis and osmotic pressure include:
