1.

Which of the following has the highest water potential?1. Pure water 2. 5% glucose solution3. 10% glucose solution4. 15% glucose solution

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Pure water 

The correct answer is Pure water 

  • Water potential depends on the number or concentration of water molecules.
  • The more the number of water molecules in a system, the higher will be the water potential.
  • Hence, pure water has the highest water potential.
  • By convention water potential of pure water has been fixed as zero.
  • This means that the water potential of any solution will always be negative.
