A measure of the tendency of a solution to take up water when separated from pure water by a selectively permeable membrane.

The pressure that must be applied to the low-salinity side of an osmotic system to prevent water movement into the high-salinity side by osmosis. Conversely, it is the suction pressure that a high-sal [..]

Pressure which must be applied to a solution to prevent water from flowing in via a semipermeable membrane.

The amount of pressure required to cause osmosis to stop

Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent the flow of water across a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions having different ionic strengths. For reverse osmosis systems it is the [..]

name given to the hydrostatic pressure resulting from a concentration gradient across two sides of a surface, such as across a semipermeable membrane.

(oz-mot´ik) A measure of the tendency of a solution to gain water by osmosis when separated by a membrane from pure water. Directly related to the osmolality of the solution, it is the pressure required to just prevent osmosis. osseous tissue

the pressure necessitated to hinder the movement of water by way of a partially permeable membrane from a region of low concentration of solution to a region of higher concentration. It stems from the [..]

The pressure required to prevent water entering a solution by osmosis. Proportional to the concentration difference of the two solutions involved.

The tendency of a solvent to move through a membrane in order to equalize the concentration of a solute.

The pressure generated by the mass flow of water to that side of a membrane-bounded structure that contains the higher concentration of solute molecules. A stable osmotic pressure is seen in systems i [..]

pressure in plant cell due to osmosis

Chemical force caused by a concentration gradient. It is a colligative property and the principle behind membrane processing. Outbreak:

A chemical force caused by a concentration gradient. It is a colligative property and the principle behind membrane processing.

Hydrostatic pressure that must be applied to the more concentrated solution to stop the net flow of water across a semipermeable membrane separating solutions of different concentrations. (Figure 15-3 [..]

the pressure required to stop the osmosis from a pure solvent into a solution.

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 concentrati [..]

Where two solutions of different concentration are separated by a membrane which the solvent molecules can move through, but the dissolved particles (solute) can't, the solvent will move from the less concentrated to the more concentrated solution to attempt to equalise the concentrations. The pressure that must be exerted on the solution to s [..]

The pressure required to stop osmosis through a semipermeable membrane between a solution and pure solvent. It is proportional to the osmolality of the solution. Osmotic shock is a sudden change in th [..]

Pressure generated by the osmotic flow of water through a semi-permeable membrane into an aqueous compartment containing solute at a higher concentration.

The pressure that develops when a pure solvent is separated from a solution by a membrane that allows only solvent molecules to pass trought it.
