Question : Read the assertion and reason carfully to mark the correct option in question. Assertion: If some solutions have a lower water potential than pure water. Reason: If some solute is dissolved in pure water, the solution has fewer free water and the concentration of water decreases, reducing its water potential.

Question : Read the assertion and reason carfully to mark the correct

1.	Question : Read the assertion and reason carfully to mark the correct option in question. Assertion: If some solutions have a lower water potential than pure water. Reason: If some solute is dissolved in pure water, the solution has fewer free water and the concentration of water decreases, reducing its water potential.
Answer» If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. If assertion is true but reason is false. If both assertion and reason are false. Solution :All SOLUTIONS have a lower water POTENTIAL than pure water as if some is DISSOLVED in pure water, the solution has FREE water and the concentration of water decreases, reducing its water potential.
