It will get plasmolysed.
A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic salt solution will lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This process is known as crenation, and it can ultimately lead to the cell's death if the condition is not corrected.
Provided the concentration of salt is higher than the salt concentration in the red blood cell, the red blood cell, through the process of osmosis and the principal of diffusion, will shrink, as water flows from within the red blood cell to the solution
Hypotonic. If the solution had a lesser salt concentration, the cell would suck in more water to even out the salt levels inside vs outside the cell in the solution... it would suck in water, which would cause it to swell up.
In a 10% NaCl solution, which is a strong hypertonic solution, red blood cells would shrink and shrivel up due to the high concentration of salt outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell through osmosis, leading to cell dehydration and eventual cell death.

When a red blood cell is placed in a concentrated salt solution, water will move out of the cell in an attempt to balance the concentration of salt inside and outside the cell. This process, known as crenation, causes the cell to shrink and lose its typical biconcave shape. Ultimately, the red blood cell can become deformed and may not function properly.
Provided the concentration of salt is higher than the salt concentration in the red blood cell, the red blood cell, through the process of osmosis and the principal of diffusion, will shrink, as water flows from within the red blood cell to the solution.
salt or a water solution containing alot of salt
Both water and salt will diffuse in an attempt to reach equilibrium. In a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the red blood cell into the solution, causing the cell to shrink. At the same time, salt from the solution will move into the red blood cell to balance the concentration gradient.
Well, honey, if you throw a blood cell into a hypertonic salt solution, that cell is gonna shrivel up like a raisin in the sun. The salt solution outside the cell has more solutes than inside, so water will leave the cell to try to balance things out, leaving the poor cell looking like a deflated balloon. So, in short, that blood cell is gonna have a bad day.
Water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink and shrivel.
Red blood cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. This occurs as water moves out of the red blood cell.
