Question

Solute potential of a solution is always

• A. = 0
• B. < 0
• C. > 0
• D. Between 0.1 to 1.0.

Answer 1

The correct option is B < 0

The solute potential of a solvent is always less than zero' since it has a negative value. This is because the addition of more solute reduces the Water potential of the solution.

So the correct answer is '<0'.
