Osmotic pressure might be defined as the surplus pressure which must be applied to a solution in order to prevent the flow of solvent into…

Determination of Osmotic Pressure by Pfeffer’s method Abbe Nollet (1748) was the first to observe the phenomenon of osmosis and made measurements of osmotic pressure.…

Measurement of Freezing Point Depression The arrangement for cryoscopic determination of the molar mass of a solute is shown in Figure. The apparatus essentially consists…

Depression of Freezing Point The freezing point of a liquid is defined as the temperature at which the liquid and solid forms are in equilibrium…

Osmotic Pressure If a concentrated solution and a dilute solution of the same solute are placed together in the same container the solute particles move…

Osmosis Pressure We know that a gas or vapour spreads out from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure. Similarly, if…
