What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?

They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium.
This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.

∙ 14y agoThe hypotonic solution contains less amount of water than the hypertonic solution. In normal conditions, the flow would be from hypertonic to hypotonic. But since the movement of solute is restricted by semipermeable membrane, the flow of water is from hyptonic to hypertonic.

If a 5 per cent sucrose solution is separated from a 10 per cent sucrose solution by a semipermeable membrane Which solution is hypotonic Which solution is hypertonic?
The weaker solution (here, 5%) is hypotonic. The stronger is hypertonic."Hypo-" means "below". A hypodermic needle goes below the skin."Hyper-" means "above". A hyperactive child is above average (in activity!).

"hypertonic"
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
Hypo-osmotic, it depends on the osmolality, if the osmolality is higher inside the cell its called hypotonic.

Net movement of water across a cell membrane occurs?
from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
Is 0.8 NaCl a hypertonic solution?
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
