Nothing will happen to a red blood cell in an isotonic solution. An isotonic solution means that the amount of solvent in the solution is the same inside the cell as it is outside the cell. Osmosis occurs, but the water going into the cell equals the water leaving the cell. A red blood cell in a hypotonic solution will burst because more water will go into the cell than the water leaving it. A red blood cell in a hypertonic solution will shrivel up because more water will leave the cell than go into it.

An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is .85% sodium chloride. When the osmotic pressure is the same outside the cells and inside the cells, the solution is isotonic.
2% glucose solution is considered as a hypotonic solution for that the solution will enter the semi-permeable membrane of the red blood cells causing the cells to explode or burst. Why? It's because RBCs have a higher concentration inside it than that of the 2% glucose solution so the solution will enter the cells.
Osmosis is the diffusion of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce through a semi permeable membrane. In red blood cells, this semi permeable membrane is the cell membrane. If red blood cells were placed in a solution abundant with water molecules, they would diffuse into the cells through the membrane
Red blood cells do contain some salts and other ions inside the cell. This means that if it is placed in water (assuming that it is deionized and has no solvent in it) the cell will be hypotonic because the concentration inside the cell will be higher than it is outside the cell.
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
Red blood cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. This occurs as water moves out of the red blood cell.
An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is .85% sodium chloride. When the osmotic pressure is the same outside the cells and inside the cells, the solution is isotonic.
Red blood cells in 10% salt solution
Yes, because there is no sodium in the solution.
2% glucose solution is considered as a hypotonic solution for that the solution will enter the semi-permeable membrane of the red blood cells causing the cells to explode or burst. Why? It's because RBCs have a higher concentration inside it than that of the 2% glucose solution so the solution will enter the cells.

9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.

It's for counting Red Blood Cells.
