What direction would water move if a cell conatins 8 percent solute and the solution contains 20 percent solute?

Water will move out of the cell and into the solution.
The explanation for this is that water generally moves from an area of higher WATER concentration (the cell) into an area of lower WATER concentration (the solution).
This answer assumes that the cell in the question has a semi-permeable membrane and would allow water to pass through. Also, an effect of the water moving out of the cell is that the cell will shrink or decrease in size.

A balloon permeable to water but not to glucose contains a 10 percent glucose solution A beaker contains a 5 percent glucose solution the solution in the balloon is what?
the solution in the balloon is hypertonic relative to the solution in the breaker. is this true
A bag with a 2 percent solution is placed in a beaker that has a 10 percent solution is the solution in the bag hypotonic hypertonic or isotonic?
hypertonic
A cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is 35 percent water Which way will the net movement of water go?
In this scenario, the cell and the surrounding solution have the same water concentration (both are 35 percent water). This means that the system is in an isotonic state, where the concentration of water inside the cell is equal to the concentration of water outside the cell. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water. Water molecules will move across the cell membrane in both directions, but there is no overall change in the water concentration inside or outside the cell. The cell's volume and shape will remain relatively stable. In summary, if a cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is also 35 percent water, the net movement of water will be minimal, and the cell will generally maintain its size and shape.
If you have a cell with water concentration of 90 percent and solute concentration of 10 percent and you place it into a solution that is 80 percent water concentration and 20 percent solute concentra?

Normal saline is 0.9 percent what would happen to the red blood cells of a patient who was teated with 0 percent saline what about 10 percent saline?
Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.

What is the concentration as percent of a solution which contains 160 g of solute in 2.75L of solution?
The answer is 5,82 %.
If a 10 percent sugar solution is separated from 20 percent sugar solution by a selectively permeable membrane in which direction will there be net movement?
The direction will be towards the more concentrated side so the 10% solution with go towards the 20% solution in an attempt to reach equilibrium.
A solution contains 1.20 g of CaCl2 and 240 mL of solution what is the percent w-v concentration of the solution?
W-V percent concentration g/mL = 1.20g/240mL = 0.005 g/mL percent
What solution contains the largest volume of solvent in 100mL?
3 percent alcohol
Cell that contains 50 percent water is placed in a solution that is 30 percent water The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they both contain how much water?
The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they each contain 40 percent water. This equilibrium is achieved through osmosis.
If a cell contains 97 percent water is placed into a 30 percent sugar solution what will happen to the cell?
The sugar solution is a hypertonic solution so water from the inside will exit through the cell membrane via osmosis and the cell will shrivel
A cell contains 3 percent salt and 97 percent water How would this cell respond if placed in a distilled water solution?
It has something to do with osmosis....
How many grams in 1 percent solution?
A 1% solution normally contains 1 gram of active ingredient per 100 ml of solution (weight-volume percent) Could also be 1gm per 100 gms (weight-weight percent)- but normally weight-volume is used.
How do you make a 1 percent aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide?
1% solution of KOH contains 1g of KOH in 100g of solution. This means that you need to mix 1g of KOH and 99g of water.
Human red blood cells placed in a 2 percent percent salt solution appear to shrink but those placed in a 0.4 percent salt solution burst Which statement best supports these observation?
Osmosis may occur in either direction across the cell membrane.
Are Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent and Normal Saline the same solution?
Sodium chloride 0.9 percent and normal saline are not quite the same solution. While they share the same osmolality, sodium chloride contains more salt.
