Question
What is Isotonic, hypertonic and hypotonic Solution?
✓
Answer
→ Isotonic Solution:
→Two solutions having same osmotic pressure at a given temperature are called isotonic solutions.
→ When such solutions are separated by semipermeable membrane no osmosis occurs between them.
→ For example, the osmotic pressure associated with the fluid inside the blood cell is equivalent to that of 0.9% (mass/volume) sodium chloride solution,
→ Hypertonic Solution:
→ The solution which possess more osmotic pressure with respect to other solution is known as hypertonic solution.
→ e.g. if we place the cells in a solution containing more than 0.9% (mass/volume) sodium chloride, water will flow out of the cells and they would shrink. Such a solution is called hypertonic.
Hypotonic Solution:
→ The solution which possess less osmotic pressure with respect to other solution is known as hypotonic solution.
→ e.g. If the salt concentration is less than 0.9% (mass/volume), the solution is said to be hypotonic. In this case, water will flow into the cells placed in the solution and they would swell.
