osmotic pressure

Preferred Label : osmotic pressure;

MeSH definition : The pressure required to prevent the passage of solvent through a semipermeable membrane that separates a pure solvent from a solution of the solvent and solute or that separates different concentrations of a solution. It is proportional to the osmolality of the solution.;
