What are the effects of osmosis on red blood cells?

If red blood cells are in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cells causing them to shrink and possibly become dehydrated. Conversely, if red blood cells are in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells causing them to swell and potentially burst, a process known as hemolysis. In an isotonic solution, red blood cells maintain their normal shape and size.
