in hypotonic solution if the external solution is less concentrated/more dilute so water potential should decrease ??how it increased ??

Open in App

Solution

Water potential is the measure of relative tendency of water to move from one region of higher water concentration to another region of lower water concentration through diffusion. It is denoted by Ïˆ _w. As their are more molecules of water in hypotonic solution, the water potential is higher.

Dear sir/mam,

Your app is telling me that hypotonic solution has more concentration in water but internet is telling me that it has less concentration. So, clear my doubt.

Thanks
