Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12
A diagram shows a container with a semipermeable membrane separating two compartments. One compartment contains a pure solvent, and the other contains a solution with a non-volatile solute. Which of the following best describes the process that occurs when pressure is applied on the solution side to prevent the solvent from flowing into the solution?
A
Osmotic pressure prevents osmosis.
B
Freezing point of the solvent increases.
C
Vapour pressure of the solution rises.
D
Solubility of the solute decreases.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The application of pressure equal to the osmotic pressure on the solution side prevents the flow of solvent into the solution, thereby stopping osmosis as described in the NCERT context.
