The water potential of pure water or a solution increases on the application of pressure values more than atmospheric pressure. For example: when water diffuses into a plant cell, it causes pressure to build up against the cell wall. This makes the cell wall turgid. This pressure is termed as pressure potential and has a positive value.
If a pressure; greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution, its water potential increases. This happens because of pressure potential which develops due to increased pressure.
If a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution, its water potential increases.
When a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution, its water potential is increased.
Under constant temperature the volume of liquid varies inversely to pressure. Moreover, if greater pressure is applied then it will change the state of the matter from liquid to solid at a given temperature. Any liquid will abide by these laws.
