State the condition resulting in reverse osmosis.

Solution

When an external pressure larger than the osmotic pressure is applied on the solution side, the direction of solvent flow reverses — pure solvent passes from the solution, through the semipermeable membrane, into the solvent side. This is reverse osmosis.
