What is in an isotonic glucose solution?

Isotonic solution is very close to sea water in composition and also concentration. Glucose isotonic solution is an electrolyte solution used for re-hydration. It contains salt, water and glucose.


Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?

No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.


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


Are 0.9 percent saline and 5.0 percent glucose solutions isotonic?

yes it is isotonic solution.


Is 5 glucose isotonic?

Many chemists (not all) consider this solution as hypotonic.


Using the example of a cell in a sugar solution what is meant by an isotonic solution?

It basically means that it is equal or the same

Does isotonic mean a fluid containing salt and minerals?

If you meant an isotonic solution, an isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration of solutes as the cell it is being compared to. This creates dynamic equilibrium, as the amount of solutes entering the cell and leaving the cell is the same.


What is Sodium chloride 0.9 percent?

This is an isotonic saline solution; 9 g/L sodium chloride solution in water with added glucose.


How do make a hypotonic solution an isotonic solution?

by addition of osmotic agents like : glucose, mannitol or addition of electrolytes like : sodium chloride


Is an isotonic solution or hypotonic solution safest for a patient?

Isotonic


Which of the 3 intravenous solutions isotonic hypotonic hypertonic has more electrolytes andor glucose content - please differentiate the three solutions based on the mentioned content?

Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.
