Question

If one chamber has a potential of-2000kpa and the other-1000kpa,which is the chamber that has the higher potential

Answer 1

Hey Dear,

You have some error in the question. Cause water potential is always negative.

# Correct question would be -

If chamber A has a water potential of -2000 kPa and chamber B has -1000 kPa which is the chamber that has higher water potential ?

● Answer -

Chamber B has higher water potential.

◆ Explanation -

# Given -

ΨA = -2000 pKa

ΨB = -1000 pKa

# Solution -

Here, ΨB(=-1000pKa) > ΨA (-2000pKa) ...(look at the negative signs carefully).

Hence, Chamber B has higher water potential.
