CPH: OSMOTIC PRESSURE

OSMOTIC PRESSURE

Osmotic pressure in a solution results due to the presence of solutes that lower the water potential. Osmotic pressure and osmotic potential are numerically equal but opposite in sign. Osmotic pressure has positive sign but osmotic potential has negative sign.
