Osmotic pressure of a solution is

Options

Agreater than pure solvent
Bless than pure solvent
Cequal to pure solvent
Dless than or greater than pure solvent

Correct answer

A. greater than pure solvent

Step-by-step solution

Osmotic pressure of solution is greater than pure solvent. When a solution is separated from pure solvent by a semi-permeable membrane, the solvent begins to flow towards the solution due to development of osmotic pressure.
