The osmotic pressure of a solution may be increased by — Solutions and Colligative Properties Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The osmotic pressure is given by π = (n_solute / V) * R * T. To increase π, one can either increase the temperature (T) or increase the concentration (n_solute / V). Increasing the number of moles of solute directly increases the solute concentration and thus the osmotic pressure of the solution.
