What would happen if you mixed a hypertonic solution and a hypotonic solution?
If place in a hypertonic solution it would swell and/or burst because to much water is getting in the cell from the hypertonic solution ( osmosis ). If placed in a hypotonic solution it will end up shrinking from the water leaving the cell to the hypotonic solution ( again osmosis ). Osmosis is when water moves to a lower pressure of water so if there's more water pressure in the cell it will move out into the less dense solution. :)
What is hypotonic condition?
Hypovolemia (also hypovolaemia, oligemia or hypotonic shock) is a state of decreased blood volume due to things such as hemorrhaging or dehydration.Hypovolemia is characterized by salt loss and thus differs from dehydration, which is defined as excessive loss of body water.Common causes of hypovolemia are:Loss of bloodLoss of plasmaExcessive sweating, diarrhea or vomitingVasodilation (widening of blood vessels) using drugs typically used to treat people with high blood pressure.
What is deplasmolysis?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution then plant cell gains water by osmosis there is swelling of the contents of the cell away from the cell wall ,this phenomenon is known as deplasmolyzis
What happens to plant cells in an isotonic solution?
In an isotonic solution, plant cells are in a state of equilibrium where the concentration of solutes inside the cell is the same as outside. This results in no net movement of water in or out of the cell, maintaining the cell's turgidity and normal function.
Why is free water concentration the driving force in osmosis?
osmosis is the diffusion of water. In diffusion, substances move from an area of high concentration to and area of lower concentration, or from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution. Free water concentration just refers to the concentration of solute in a solution (in osmosis, water). If the concentration of solute is higher outside of a cell bits of solute will move towards the area of lower concentration: inside the cell. If the concentration of solute is higher within the cell then some solute will leave the cell. Cells "want" to be isotonic, or to have equal amounts of solute both inside and out. When a cell reaches an isotonic state it wants to stay that way, so the water moves across the membrane at the same rate. Hope that helps! Source: AP bio student

What is diffussion and osmosis?
The difference between diffusion and osmosis is that diffusion is the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration down the concentration gradient. Particles will continue to move until dynamic equilibrium is reached, which is a state where the particles are evenly spread.Osmosis is the movement of water from a hypotonic solution (solution with less concentration) to a hypertonic solution (solution with a greater concentration of solute). Water will move to even the concentration of the two solutions to establish a state where both solutions are isotonic. ( two solutions have the same concentration).
What effect does isotonic solution have on an egg?
Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave an egg, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a egg, an isotonic solution (where inside the egg and outside the egg the solute concentration is equal) water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)
Do cells reccover from the state of plasmolysis?
Yes, if a plasmolysed cell is placed in a hypotonic solution it can recover as a turgid cell.

Is salt water dilute or concentrated?
The word 'dilute' is an inexact term. Hypotonic (less solute) and hypertonic (more solute) and isotonic (the same amount) are relative terms. What they mean is that a solution will either have less, more, or the same concentration of a given solute than the reference substance. It is important in cells because a hypertonic solution (such as salt water) will try to pull free water out of the cell, where the concentration of salt is less. A hypotonic solution will cause water to soak into the cells. Either situation may be undesirable. For osmosis, water will flow across a semipermeable membrane in the direction of the pressure gradient. It will always flow from the hypotonic solution into the hypertonic solution. Plants absorb water by creating a hypertonic state inside the root.
What is osmotic imbalance?
Osmotic balance is centric around the concentration of sodium chloride across the cell membrane. When the concentration is higher outside the cell, the cell is in a hypertonic state. When the concentration is greater within the cell, the cell is in a hypotonic state. Both hypo and hypertonic states represent osmotic imbalances within a cell. Hypertonic states cause water to rush out of the cell in an attempt to equilibrate the high sodium concentration across the membrane, causing the cell to shrink. The opposite occurs during a hypotonic state, which usually culminates in the cell swelling to a bursting point.
What is isotonic concentration?
Isotonic concentration refers to a solution that has the same concentration of solutes as another solution, resulting in no net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. This creates a state of equilibrium between the two solutions, maintaining cell volume and preventing osmotic effects.
What should be hydrogen ion concentration of a solution having pH 11 state whether it is acidic or basic?
The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution with a pH of 11 is 1 x 10^-11 M. A solution with a pH of 11 is considered basic, as it indicates a lower concentration of hydrogen ions and a higher concentration of hydroxide ions.
What causes a hypotonic state?
A hypotonic state can be caused by excessive water intake, which dilutes the concentration of solutes in the body's cells. This can lead to an imbalance in electrolytes, causing cells to swell and potentially burst. It can also occur as a result of certain medical conditions, such as kidney disorders or hormonal imbalances.

Is saline plus bicarbonate a isotonic or hypertonic solution?
Saline plus bicarbonate solution is generally considered isotonic because the addition of bicarbonate does not significantly alter the osmolarity of the solution. It closely resembles the osmolarity of bodily fluids and does not result in a net movement of water across cell membranes.
