| 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 flows through semipermeable membrane.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The external pressure which must be applied on the solution in order to stop the flow of solvent to the solution through semipermeable membrane is called osmotic pressure.
