    Explain why pure water has the maximum water potential. 

    Answer:

    Water molecules possess kinetic energy. In liquid and gaseous form, they are in random motion that is both rapid and constant. The greater the concentration of water in a system, the greater is its kinetic energy or water potential'. Hence, pure water will have the greatest water potential. Water potential is denoted by the Greek symbol psi or v and is expressed in pressure units such as pascals (Pa). .
