What is the osmotic pressure of a solution directly proportional to?
Correct Answer: Temperature and concentration of solute
- Step 1: Understand what osmotic pressure is. It is the pressure required to stop the flow of solvent into a solution through a semipermeable membrane.
- Step 2: Know that osmotic pressure depends on two main factors: temperature and concentration of solute.
- Step 3: Realize that as the temperature of the solution increases, the osmotic pressure also increases.
- Step 4: Understand that as the concentration of solute in the solution increases, the osmotic pressure also increases.
- Step 5: Conclude that osmotic pressure is directly proportional to both temperature and solute concentration.
