Osmotic pressure of the solution can be increased by_________________?

Correct answer: D. None of these

  • A. Decreasing its temperature
  • B. Increasing the volume of the vessel containing the solution
  • C. Diluting the solution
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Osmotic pressure follows π = iCRT, so it increases with temperature or concentration. Decreasing temperature, increasing vessel volume at fixed solute amount, and dilution all reduce concentration or temperature, so none of the listed changes increases it.
