Osmotic pressure is widely used to determine molar masses of proteins and polymers. Two solutions having same osmotic pressure are called isotonic solutions. Water can flow in or out from a substance depending on if it is kept in hypotonic or hypertonic solutions. The direction of the osmosis can be reversed if a pressure larger than osmotic pressure is applied on solution side.
