Best Answer

No. The "solvent" is the liquid that does makes the solid dissolve.

For example, in a solution of salt water, the solvent is "water", and the solute is salt.

Why would a solution be called isotonic?

A solution with the same ratio of solute to solvent (concentration) as another solution is called isotonic. If it has more solvent and thus a lower solute concentration, then it is called hypertonic.


What is isotonic hypertonic hypotonic?

Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution .
