Hypertonic for human blood fluid means that more than 0.9% NaCl is present (as only solute).

This is 9 grams per liter divided by 58.5 grams per mole NaCl or 0.154 moles Na+ AND 0.154 moles Cl- per liter = total of 0.308 moles dissolved particles as hypertonicity.

The same hypertonicity is reached with 0.308 / 3 = 0.103 moles CaCl2 per liter (3 particle ions per molecule)

Which solution has more solute-hypo or hypertonic?

A hypertonic solution has more solute compared to a hypotonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher, causing water to move out of the cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower, which leads to water moving into the cells.


What are the 3 stages of osmosis?

The three stages of osmosis are isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water molecules. In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.


Why osmosis does not occur when you place boiled rasins in hypertonic and hypotonic solution?

Boiling ruptures the cell membrane of raisins, preventing osmosis from taking place as the cell membrane is necessary for the process. In a hypertonic solution, the raisins would not absorb water due to the damaged cell membrane. In a hypotonic solution, they would not release water as the cell membrane cannot regulate the movement of water.


What are the types of solution of osmosis?

The types of solutions in osmosis are hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solute is higher outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solute is higher inside the cell compared to outside, causing water to move into the cell. In an isotonic solution, the concentrations of solute inside and outside the cell are equal, so there is no net movement of water.


A solution should be in order to prevent water gain or water loss in a cell. hypotonic hypertonic isotonic?

To prevent water gain in a cell in a hypotonic solution, the cell could actively pump out excess water using ion pumps. To prevent water loss in a cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell could accumulate solutes or ions to balance the osmotic pressure and retain water. In an isotonic solution, the cell maintains equilibrium and does not actively gain or lose water.

To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?

Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.

is water hypotonic?

yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.


Is a 2 percent salt solution hypertonic or hypotonic to a 4 percent salt solution?

A 2% salt solution is hypotonic compared to a 4% salt solution because it has a lower concentration of salt. In osmosis, water flows from hypotonic to hypertonic solutions, so in this case, water would flow from the 2% solution to the 4% solution to try to equalize the concentrations.


What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?

They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.


What is the similarities between hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution?

The only similarities are that these deal with solutions. If the cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the amount of salt (or sugar) will be lower, and water will move into the cell, and it will swell. Water will move from a lower concentration of water to a higher to reach a balance. The opposite will be true for hypertonic solutions, the cell will lose water. They appear crenate or serrated.


Net movement of water across a cell membrane occurs?

from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.


Is sodium chloride hypotonic?

A sodium chloride solution can be hypo-, hyper- or isotonic depending on the concentration.

How are hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution the same?

Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions both refer to the concentration of solutes compared to a cell. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell.


What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?

A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.


What is a relatively low solute concentration called?

A relatively low solute concentration is called hypotonic. In a hypotonic solution, there is a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, leading to water moving into the cell through osmosis.
