MCQ
Blood is isotonic with
  • $0.16 M$  $NaCl$
  • B
    Conc. $NaCl$
  • C
    $50 \% $ $NaCl$
  • D
    $30 \%$  $NaCl$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0.16 M$  $NaCl$
a
An isotonic solution refers to two solutions having the same osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane. This state allows for the free movement of water across the membrane without changing the concentration of solutes on either side.

The osmotic concentration of normal saline, $9$ grams $NaCl$ dissolved in water to a total volume of one litre $(0.158\, M )$, is a close approximation to the osmotic concentration of $NaCl$ in blood. Thus, normal saline is isotonic to blood plasma. Both sodium and chloride ions cannot freely pass through the plasma membrane as opposed to urea.
