isotonic solution, equilibrium
What else can I help you with?
What does it mean when two solutions are isotonic?
When two solutions are isotonic it means that they have an equal amount of solute concentration. This state is referred to as dynamic equilibrium.
Does osmosis occur in an isotonic solution, and if so, how does it differ from osmosis in other types of solutions?
Yes, osmosis can occur in an isotonic solution. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is the same, so there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane. This differs from osmosis in other types of solutions, such as hypertonic or hypotonic solutions, where there is a concentration gradient that causes water to move into or out of the cell to reach equilibrium.
Solutions that have the same osmotic pressure are called .?
Solutions having the same osmotic pressures are called isotonic solutions
When two solutions are equal in their solute concentration?
When two solutions are equal in solute concentration, they are said to be isotonic. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell are balanced. This allows for a stable environment for cells to function properly.
Is Hartman's solution hypertonic?
Yes . The balance of chemicals between the blood and Hartman's solutions is isotonic and therefore there is an equilibrium reached between the two solutions. this reason is why it is used for major blood loss.
What two solutions are isotonic?
Two isotonic solutions are two solutions that have the same osmotic pressure. This term is generally used referring to solutions in a cell or body fluid.
What is dynamic in isotonic solutions?
In isotonic solutions, the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell is balanced, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane. As a result, the cell maintains its volume and shape in a dynamic equilibrium where water molecules continue to move in and out of the cell at equal rates to maintain stability.
What is it called when water comes in or out of a cell?
Equilibrium
Why are isotonic solutions used as parenteral solutions?
this is because isotonic solutions are fluids that contains the same concentration of solutes as plasma in human..(*_*) that's what i think..._pinkay
What is the difference between isosmotic and isotonic solutions?
Isosmotic solutions have the same concentration of solutes, while isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes and the same osmotic pressure.
What does maintaining osmotic equilibrium mean?
Your cells are in an isotonic environment.
What's the difference between isotonic and hypertonic solutions"?
Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cells, while hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes than the cells.
