Water Potential Pure Solute State Explain Positive 0kpa

Front State the water potential of pure water and explain why water potential can't have a positive value.
Back Water potential of pure water:
  • 0kPa (at standard temp and pressure)
  • Highest value because presents of solute in water lowers the water potential below 0
  • More solute means more negative water potential
