I am trying to understand the relationship between solute concentration and osmotic pressure? Anybody?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As solute concentration increases the oncotic pressure of the solution increases......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solute is how clustered the solute osmosis is a selective diffusion process. osmotic pressure depends on the concentration of the solute so if you have blood separated from water by a permeable membrane, the osmotic pressure would be greater on the side of blood as it is more concentrated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the more solute particles present, the higher the osmotic pressure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The osmotic pressure is measured in terms of concentration. It depends on the molar concentration of the solute. Therefore , the higher the concentration of the solute, the higher the osmotic pressure is required to achieve equilibrium

OpenStudy (anonymous):

More solute= more pressure Because the effort to make the solution balenced will be bigger
