The term Ys , called the solute potential or the osmotic potential, represents the effect of dissolved solutes on water potential,
a) The mixing of solutes and water reduces the disorder of the system and thereby lowers free energy
b) Solutes reduce the free energy of water by diluting the water
c) The mixing of solutes and water increases the disorder of the system and thereby lowers free energy
d) Solutes increases the free energy of water by diluting the water
