Question
The water potenialt and osmotic potenial of pure are
Options
A.100 and zero
B.zero and zero
C.100 and 200
D.zero and 100
Solution
The term water potential indicates the net tendency of system to donate water to its sutrroundings. The water potential of pure water at atmospheric pressure is zero. Any addition of solute to this water reduces its water potential and makes its value negative. The osmotic potential of pure water also would be zero.
