It all depends on what kind of fluid. If it's a fluid other than water, the cell membrane will prevent the fluid from getting in. if the fluid contains less salt than there is inside the cell, it is probably good; for example, if our bodies take in too much salt, we will most likely have heart problems. the same could happen to the cell. (not the heart problem part, though).
This is rather hypothetical if it is intended to apply to a living cell. An animal cell with an 8% salt concentration is quite dessicated. So, with that said, you take some salt pork and put it into 2% salt solution, there is less water inside the cells than there is outside (i.e., the concentration of water is higher outside). Osmotic potential will drive water into the cells causing the cells to swell. At the same time that water is diffusing into the cells, you could also expect that the salt ions will move out of the cells into the surrounding hypotonic solution. Cell membranes are semi-permeable, being composed of a phospho-lipid bi-layer that is hydrophobic. It will allow most small ions to pass through but tends to be a barrier to sugars, lipids and proteins. If the cell was dead (as initially postulated) you will see no active transport and you may have membrane degradation so, the answer really only applies to cells with intact membranes.
If you had the forethought to put some spices into that water, maybe a little balsamic vinegar, and some Worcestershire sauce and let that meat marinate in the refrigerator overnight, a really tasty meat dish could happen.
The cell would swell and burst, because the 20% salt solution is hypotonic with respect to the cell, causing a net movement of water into the cell.
the cell would swell and burst because the 20% salt soulution is hypotonic with respect to the cell causing a net movement of water into a cell\
The cell would shrink loosing water, because it is a hypertonic environment.
it would shrivil up

Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.
In this scenario, the cell and the surrounding solution have the same water concentration (both are 35 percent water). This means that the system is in an isotonic state, where the concentration of water inside the cell is equal to the concentration of water outside the cell. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water. Water molecules will move across the cell membrane in both directions, but there is no overall change in the water concentration inside or outside the cell. The cell's volume and shape will remain relatively stable. In summary, if a cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is also 35 percent water, the net movement of water will be minimal, and the cell will generally maintain its size and shape.
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.
hypertonic
Yes, during process of osmoses the solvent from higher concentration to lower concentration moves through semipermeable membrane, the 2% solution has lower concentration of solute therefore higher concentration of solvent.
As you increase the concentration of the solution, the concentration of H+ does not change. Meaning, the concentration ionized does not change. Just the original concentration increases. Since percent ionization = (concentration ionized)/(original concentration) , and the original concentration is increased, the percent ionization therefore decreases.

Calculating concentration of a chemical solution is a basic skill all students of chemistry must develop early in their studies. What is concentration?
If the concentration of alcohol and water solution is 25 percent alcohol by volume, the volume of alcohol in a 200 solution is 50.
The answer is 5,82 %.
Calculate the weight of sucrose for the desired volume and concentration of the solution.
13.6% methanol solution.
No. Everything below 0.9% of NaCl is hypotonic and every solution with concentration over 0.9% is hypertonic solution. Isotonic solution (to blood) is the one that has 0.9% of NaCl, or some other concentration of another compound.
