It is the measure of the tendency of a solution to take in a pure solvent by osmosis.
It is the decrease in the chemical potential of water with the addition of solute to it.
Osmotic pressure is usually denoted as and osmotic potential is denoted as .
On adding more solutes to the solution, osmotic pressure increases whereas the osmotic potential decreases.
Increase in the concentration of solute particles, osmotic pressure increases but osmotic potential decreases.
