    The value of water potential for any given solute is always

    A)  insignificant         

    B)  negative

    C)  slightly negative     

    D)  positive

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The water potential \[({{\psi }_{w}})\] value for all the solutes is always negative. The water potential of pure water is taken to be zero. If some solute is dissolved in pure water, the solute has some free water and the concentration of water decreases reducing its water potential.
