Question

The diffusion pressure of pure water is theoretically ____________ atm.

Options

• 1336

• 1136

• 1236

• 1036

Answer 1

The diffusion pressure of pure water is theoretically 1236 atm.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from one pressure level to another. Diffusion causes the formation of diffusion pressure, which is proportional to the number of disseminated particles. The theoretical DP of pure water is 1236 atm. Diffusion is important in plant absorption of water, minerals, nutrient transport, and gas exchange, among other things.
