Define osmosis and osmotic pressure and show that osmotic pressure is a colligative property.

Answer»

Solution :OSMOSIS and osmotic PRESSURE. Refer to brief review.
Osmotic pressure `(pi)` for a DILUTE solution is given as
`pi prop (n_B )/(V )`(At constant temperature)
` n_B= N o.` of moles of solute
V = Volume of solution or volume of solvent
because solution is dilute.
` thereforepi` depends UPON no. of moles of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent and is independent of nature of solute particles, `THEREFORE` it is a colligative property.
