WHY THE OSMOTIC PRESSURE IS DEPENDENT ON SOLUTE CONC. NOT ON SOLVENT CONC.


Solvent is the component of the solution which is present in excess... ALways the excess quantity plays negligible role. The concentration of solute (component which is lesser in qty than solvent) is what matters as a balancing force will try to equalise concentration of solute particles between the media in contact which have diff. conc of solute for the same solvent.
