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.

How do we make hyper tonic hypo tonic and isotopic solutions using blood and seline?

To make hypertonic solution, add more solute (such as salt) to blood or saline to increase osmotic pressure. To make hypotonic solution, dilute blood or saline by adding more water. To make isotonic solution, keep the concentration of solutes in blood or saline equal to that of the solution to which it is being compared.


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.


What is the name of a hypo-tonic solution used in intravenous infusion?

One example of a hypo-tonic solution used in intravenous infusion is 0.45% saline, also known as half-normal saline. This solution has a lower concentration of salt compared to the normal concentration in the body, making it hypo-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.


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.


Is sodium chloride hypotonic?

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


What happens to high salinity water wean it is in the same area as low salinity water?

What happens is, the high salinity water (hyper tonic solution), mixes with the low salinity water (Hypo tonic solution), and eventually the sodium and chloride ions will slowly move into the lower salt water, and create a uniformly salty water.


is water hypotonic?

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


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 are Examples of isotonic fluid?

Normal saline is an example of an isotonic fluid. It contains 0.9% salt in water.An isotonic solution is a solution that contains the same concentration of solutes (dissolved particles) as blood. Isotonic saline is an example. Isotonic saline is a solution with the same concentration of salts as human blood.
