Osmotic pressure

Storyboard

Osmotic pressure is generated in a solution when a semipermeable membrane is present. This membrane allows the solvent to pass through while retaining the solute on one side, creating a pressure imbalance. As a result, there is a reduction in pressure on the solvent side, driving the solvent to move through the membrane toward the side containing the solute.



This process continues until the pressure on the solute side increases enough to balance the initial pressure reduction or until the solute becomes diluted enough that the pressure difference is eliminated, reaching osmotic equilibrium.
