0.1M solution of a solute has a water potential of

Options

(a) -2.3 bars
(b) 0 bar
(c) 22.4 bars
(d) 2.3 bars

Correct Answer:

-2.3 bars

Explanation:

1 M solution of a solute at normal temperature and pressure has water potential – 23 bars, hence 0.1 M solution will have water potential – 2.3 bars.
