Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Water potential decreases when solutes are added to pure water. Solute potential of solution is lesser as compared to pure water.

Q. Water potential of a solution at room temperature and pressure

Is greater than pure water

Can be increased by adding more solute

Is less than zero

Decrease when pure water is added

Water potential decreases when solutes are added to pure water. Solute potential of solution is lesser as compared to pure water.
