Q. Osmotic pressure of a solution at a given temperature

A) Increases with concentration
B) Decreases with concentration
C) Remains same
D) Initially increases and then decreases
Explanation

(a)
According to the Boyle-van’t Hoff law, at constant temperature the osmotic pressure of a solution is directly proportional to its concentration and inversely proportional to its dilution.$\pi \propto C$ (where, C= concentration).
Hence, the osmotic pressure of a solution at a given temperature increases with concentration.
