NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12
A diagram depicts the process of osmosis across a semi-permeable membrane with a higher concentration of solute on one side. What does applying a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure achieve in this setup?
A
It initiates reverse osmosis, causing the solvent to flow out of the solution.
B
It increases the concentration of solute in the solution.
C
It enhances the process of osmosis, allowing solute particles to move across the membrane.
D
It decreases the boiling point of the solvent in the solution.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Applying pressure greater than the osmotic pressure results in reverse osmosis, where the solvent flows out of the solution, as described in the NCERT context.
