Osmotic pressure is the external pressure which should be applied to stop the flow of solvent into the solution when the two are separated by a semipermeable membrane. The osmotic pressure is a colligative property. Two solutions having the same osmotic pressure are called isotonic. If there are two solutions and one of them is of lower osmotic pressure, it is called hypotonic while the other is called hypertonic.
