Question

What direction does water move in if two systems containing water are in contact?


Open in App
Solution

  1. If two systems containing water are in contact, random movement of water molecules will result in a net movement of water molecules from the system with higher energy to the one with lower energy.
  2. Thus water will move from the system containing water at higher water potential to the one having low water potential.
