What is osmotic pressure?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for a definition or explanation of osmotic pressure, which is related to the movement of solvent through a semipermeable membrane in the presence of solute concentration differences.
Answer
Osmotic pressure prevents solvent flow across a membrane.
Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure required to prevent the inward flow of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane.
