A solution is only isotonic compared to another solution. The statement that .9 NaCl is isotonic is incomplete. You are referring to the fact that it is isotonic with blood serum. This means they have the same osmotic pressure as each other which controls how they pass through the semi permeable membrane of blood vessels. .9 NaCl is isotonic with blood serum and that means that it will diffuse out of the blood vessel after IV injection in a similar fashion to the components of the blood serum itself. .9Nacl contains about 154 mOsm/L of Na and 154 mOsm/L of Cl giving the solution an osmolarity of 308 mOsm/L. The osmolarity of blood is about 300-310 mOsm/L so the two are very close and that's why .9NaCl is considered isotonic for IV solution.

Calculate the isotonic coefficient for NaCl if a 07M of NaCl solution equaled the hemolysis of14M glucose solution?
i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2 i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2 i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2 i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2
An example of an isotonic solution?
Normal Saline Solution, or anything that contains 0.9% NaCl
A solution that contains the same level of NaCl as that found in red blood cells is called?
isotonic solution
Saline is what percent NaCl?
If you think to an isotonic solution the concentration is 0,9 g NaCl/100 g solution.
What represents an isotonic solution to human cells?
your stomach
Why NaCl is required for TBST?
Because the sodium chloride solution in this case is isotonic.
What is the salt NaCl of Blood?
The concentration of sodium in blood plasma is 136-145 mmol/L.
Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
What is the role of NaCl in TBST buffer?
In this case sodium chloride form an isotonic solution.
Is 10 percent of NaCl isotonic?
No, it is far from isotonic. there's even more salt in it than in ocean water (3%).A typical home recipe for an isotonic solution, used for nasal spray, consists of 1⁄2 litre of water, 4 to 5 grams (1 teaspoon) of salt. This is about 10 grams per Litre or 1 % NOT 10%
Is half-normal saline solution isotonic?
No, half-normal saline solution is considered hypertonic as it has a higher osmolarity compared to normal saline solution (0.9% NaCl) which is isotonic.
What term would you use to describe the tonicity of 0.9 percent NACL for red blood cells?
Isotonic. A 0.9% NaCl solution is isotonic to red blood cells, meaning it has the same osmotic pressure as the cytoplasm of the cells, and therefore will not cause them to shrink or swell.
