Distilled water is hypotonic to undistilled water. Undistilled water is hypertonic to distilled water. Undistilled water contains chemicals, if you live in the city, and minerals and nutrients. These would be considered impurities to the pure H2O, or solutes dissolved in the water. Because the undistilled water has substances in it that the distilled water does not, it is hyper-(above)-tonic. The deionized water is hypo-(below)-tonic to the dirty water.

∙ 14y agoyes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.

∙ 9y agoWater is not hypertonic, rather hypotonic. This means that pure water has no, or very little solutes dissolved in it.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoDistilled water is hypotonic compared to tap water, or other undistilled water. Hypotonic refers to a low solute, high solvent ratio.

What will happen to an egg in hypo tonic water?
In a hyptonic solution, water will move into the cells of the egg, and it will swell, and the cells will burst.
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
simple diffusion. When you surround a cell with water the water diffuses through the cell membrane causing it to swell and burst. The opposite is hyper tonic.
In a hypo tonic solution will a cell gain or lose water or no net change?
The cell will not loose or gain water.An isotonic solution means that the amount of solutes outside the cell is similar or equal to the amount of solutes inside the cell. Water is moving by osmosis both in and out of the cell at equal rates; the net movement of water is zero.A cell will lose water in a hypertonic solution (more solute in the surrounding environment) and gain water in a hypotonic solution (more solute in the cellular environment). Whether or not a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic is relative to the environment in the cell.
What is the name of a hypo-tonic solution used in intravenous infusion?
Ringers lactate
Is vinegar a hyper tonic solution or a hypo tonic solution?
vinegar is a hypotonic solution if you would like an example take an egg and put it in to a glass of vinegar and the egg will swell.
What will happen to an egg in hypo tonic water?
In a hyptonic solution, water will move into the cells of the egg, and it will swell, and the cells will burst.
What is hyper tonic and what is hypo tonic?
i think the question that you are asking is what is the difference between hyper and hypo tonic. A fluid that has a greater concentration of solutes in comparison to another solution is a hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is a fluid that has a lower concentraton of solutes in comparison to another solution.
What is done to a cell that is placed in a hypo tonic solution?
It will probably burst.A hypo-tonic solution means that there is less dissolved solute in the solution than there is in the cell, and a greater concentration of the solution (ie water).Since there's a greater concentration of water outside the cell, osmosis will cause a net movement of water into the cell, causing it to swell and most-likely burst.
Which solution contains a higher concentration of solvent that the solution it is being compared with?
A hypo-tonic solution contains higher concentration of solvent. When it is compared with a hyper-tonic solution.
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
simple diffusion. When you surround a cell with water the water diffuses through the cell membrane causing it to swell and burst. The opposite is hyper tonic.

Is blood opaque?
This depends on the solution you add the blood to in an isotonic solution the blood is opaque. In a hypo-tonic solution the blood is completely transparent. In a hyper-tonic solution the blood is virtually opaque however does allow some light through.

Is vinegar a hyper tonic solution or a hypo tonic solution?
vinegar is a hypotonic solution if you would like an example take an egg and put it in to a glass of vinegar and the egg will swell.
What is function of hypo tonic solution?
This are the types of molecules wherein the movement of water is from outside going to inside that makes the cell bursts or swell.
What kind of solution causes cells to rupture when they are bathed in it?
A hypo-tonic solution causes cells to rupture when they are bathed in it.
How are hypertonic solution and hypo tonic Solution related?
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
