I guess that depends on what you are comparing the solution to?
In comparison to human blood, it is most certainly a hypertonic solution, because there is a much higher concentration of Na+ and Cl- in the solution than in the blood.
An isotonic solution would only be 0.89% NaCl. See related link for more details.

What is the difference between iodine crystals and iodine solution?
Iodine crystal is solid Iodine. Iodine solution is when Iodine crystals are dissolved in water.
What does lugol's iodine?
it is iodine and potassium iodide solution It's a orange colored solution that consists of Iodine and Potassium Iodide and is used to test a substance for starch. If the color of the solution turns black when put on/in the substance, then the substance is positive for starch.
How do you prepare iodine solution?
dissolve iodine crystals in a saturated KI(potassium iodide) solution
Is D5 0.3 naCl a hypotonic solution?
That depends entirely on what is in this solution. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a semi-permeable membrane. Relative to a plant cell or e.g. a red blood cell the named solution of 0.3x10-5M NaCl is hypotonic, but compared to sea water it is hyper. A hypotonic solution contains a lesser concentration of impermeable solutes than the the inside cell. When a cell's cytoplasm is bathed in a hypotonic solution the water will be drawn out of the solution and into the cell by osmosis. If water molecules continue to diffuse into the cell, it will cause the cell to swell, up to the point that lysis (rupture) may occur.
What is the difference between iodine solution and Benedict's solution?
Benedict's solution is used to test for simple sugars and iodine is used to test for starches.
What is a solution that contains relatively little dissolved solute?
Hypotonic solution.The root "hypo" means "less", so since the solution has less solutes it takes the name hypotonic.
What is hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution is a type of solution of higher concentration in relation to the solution with which it is been compared
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
What is a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution is a solution with a lower salt concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood.
Is a 2 percent salt solution hypertonic or hypotonic to a 4 percent salt solution?
hypotonic
A red blood cell will undergo hemolysis in?
When it is in a hypotonic solution such as distilled water.
What is a relatively low solute concentration called?
The solution would be a hypotonic solution.
Do you soak celery in hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?
hypotonic
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in what solutions?
hypotonic solution
What solution would cause a cell to shiver hypotonic or hypertonic?
hypotonic
What is a sentence for hypotonic?
Hypotonic means having reduced pressure or tone. That solution is hypotonic compared to this one.
