The water potential of pure water is:
Zero
Less than zero
More than zero but less than one
More than one
As discussed in
Water Potential (Ψw) -
Difference between the free energy of water molecules in pure water and the energy of water in any other system.
- wherein
At atmospheric pressure Ψw is zero for pure water.
Water potential of pure water is zero
Option 1)
Zero
This solution is correct.
Option 2)
Less than zero
This solution is incorrect.
Option 3)
More than zero but less than one
This solution is incorrect.
Option 4)
More than one
This solution is incorrect.
