What does it mean when two solutions are isotonic?

When two solutions are isotonic it means that they have an equal amount of solute concentration. This state is referred to as dynamic equilibrium.


When concentration of two solutions is the same?

When the concentration of two solutions is the same, it means that they have an equal amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent. This indicates that the solutions are isotonic and will have no net movement of water between them.


What refers to the relative solute concentration of two solutions?

When comparing two solutionsthe solution with the greater concentration of solute so is called?

When comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solute is called hypertonic. This means that it has a higher solute concentration compared to the other solution.


Describe two solutions that have the same concentration of solutes relative to one another?

Two solutions with the same concentration of solutes relative to each other would be two solutions of equal parts solute and solvent, like two bottles of water with one teaspoon of sugar dissolved in each. Another example would be two cups of coffee with the same amount of sugar added to each, creating solutions with identical solute concentration.


When comparing two solutions the solution with the greater concentration of solute is?

its called hypertonic


When does osmosis occur?

Osmosis occurs when there is a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions of different concentrations of solute, causing water molecules to move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.


When two solvents are separated by a semipermeable membrane water flows from low solute concentrations to high solute concentrations. What would happen if external pressure is applied to the solution?

"Water ALWAYS follows the salt" or to put it another way, it will try to make the two sides have equal amounts of water. The water will go where there are more solute particles. Water easily passes from one side to the other by simple osmosis.


Two containers have different solute concentrations. after osmosis occurs between the two containers which is true?

the concentration of solutes is the same every where


If two solutions have unequal concentrations of solute what is the solution with the the lower concentration?

The solution with the lower concentration of solute is referred to as the hypotonic solution. In a comparison of two solutions, the hypotonic solution has fewer solute particles per unit volume, leading to a higher concentration of water compared to the other solution, which is termed hypertonic. When placed in a hypertonic environment, a hypotonic solution will tend to lose water, potentially causing cells to shrink.


What are the types of solution outside the cell?

The two main types of solutions outside the cell are hypotonic solutions, where the solute concentration is lower outside the cell causing water to move into the cell, and hypertonic solutions, where the solute concentration is higher outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell. These solutions can affect the cell's size and function.


How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?

The concentration gradient in osmosis refers to the difference in solute concentration between two solutions separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Water will move from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in an attempt to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane. The steeper the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of osmosis.
