    If for example you have a container with a semi-permeable membrane filled with 2M sol
    We say that osmotic pressure stops osmosis but doesn't osmosis stop because solutions now have the same concentrations?
    If for example you have a container with a semi-permeable membrane filled with 2M solution and this container is placed in pure solvent osmosis stops because solutions eventually have same concentrations not because of a pressure?

    I have always assumed that the bag is limp and that there is therefore no pressure difference across the membrane.
    I may be wrong!
