Question

0.1 m solution of a solute will have the water potential

Answer 1

The correct option is A (-2.3 bars).
The water potential of pure water is zero. The water potential lowers when solute is added to pure water.

Answer 2

Answer:

0.1 m solution of solute will have "water potential of 2.3 bars".

Explanation:

The water potential of pure water is zero.  It lowers when any solute is added to the solvent water. Solvent potential of water is called water potential.

This is used to measure osmotic pressure.  And, the direction of movement of both the solute and the solvent in case of osmotic or diffusion movements.  Since, all other measures are positive or 0, the answer is then – 2.3 bars.
