If two solutions have unequal concentrations of solute what is the solution with the the lower concentration?
The solution with the lower concentration of solute is referred to as the hypotonic solution. In a comparison of two solutions, the hypotonic solution has fewer solute particles per unit volume, leading to a higher concentration of water compared to the other solution, which is termed hypertonic. When placed in a hypertonic environment, a hypotonic solution will tend to lose water, potentially causing cells to shrink.
What changes shape but doesn't change volume?
A gas can change shape but it doesn't change volume, a liquid also changes shape but doesn't change volume.
What is a hypotonic solution of NaCl?
A hypotonic solution of NaCl has a lower concentration of salt (NaCl) compared to the concentration of salt inside a cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic NaCl solution, water will move into the cell, causing it to swell, potentially leading to cell lysis if the cell cannot regulate its volume adequately.
What chages in cell volume will occur if a cell is placed in a hypotonic sloution?
A change in cell volume that will occur when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution is that a cell will expand. Water will move from the solution into the cell. If enough water enters the cell the cell will expand and eventually burst.
Solution that causes no change in the intracellular volume?
An isotonic solution that has the same solute concentration as the intracellular fluid will not cause a change in the intracellular volume when introduced to cells. This is because there will be no net movement of water across the cell membrane, maintaining equilibrium. Examples of isotonic solutions include normal saline (0.9% NaCl) or Ringer's solution.
Where should the volume number be placed in an APA citation?
The volume number should be placed after the title of the journal in an APA citation.
Effect of hypotonic?
A hypotonic solution (meaning the salt concentration is lower outside the cell than it is on the inside) will effectively burst your cells due to the water rushing in to diffuse in the salt in your cells.
Which process is most likely involved in the change in red blood cell volume?
Red blood cell volume changes are primarily regulated by osmosis. When red blood cells are exposed to a hypertonic (higher concentration of solutes) or hypotonic (lower concentration of solutes) environment, water will move in or out of the cells to maintain equilibrium, causing changes in cell volume.
What is the percentage formula for change in volume?
Percentage change in volume= Change in volume/intial volume X 100
Is volume a physical or a chemical change?
Volume is a physical quantity not a change. However CHANGE in volume is a physical change.
Would volume of wood change if it was moved in larger container and why?
No, the volume of wood would not change when moved to a larger container. Volume is a measure of the amount of space occupied by an object, and it remains constant regardless of the size of the container in which the object is placed. The amount of wood remains the same, only the space it occupies may vary.
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.
