The solution of equal solute concentration compared to its surroundings is called an isotonic solution. In an isotonic environment, the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside of a cell, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane. This balance helps maintain cell shape and function.
A solution whose concentration of solute is equal to the maximum concentration predicted from the solute's solubility is called a saturated solution. In a saturated solution, the solute is in equilibrium with its undissolved form, meaning no more solute can dissolve at that specific temperature and pressure.
Molecules tend to travel from a concentration from high to low. A cell will reach equilibrium when the concentration gradient has become equal on both sides of a cell (inner and outer membrane). A cell will reach what is called "dynamic equilibrium" when the concentration gradient of a cell is equal, but molecules still move back and forth in the same proportions.
Osmosis is the term for the diffusion of solute through a membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. The process of osmosis will continue until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane.

The equal movement of molecules would be describing an "isotonic" state, where concentration gradients are equal, and a state of equilibrium is created.
Water Movement across a cell membrane is called Osmosis. And it is dependent on the concentration of ions on each side of the cell membrane. If the concentration is higher on the inside of the cell water rushes in to dilute the ion concentration and get it to equal the outside concentration of ions and this is called hypotonic. If the concentration is higher outside the cell water will rush out of the cell to help dilute the concentration outside the cell and get the two concentrations to become equal and is called hypertonic. If the concentration is equal in both outside and inside the cell there will be no water movement and is called isotonic. Osmosis

It was called the Dachau concentration camp.
Diffusion - which aims to create equilibrium (equal concentrations in both areas).
If the concentration of H3O+ and OH- ions are equal, the solution is neutral with a pH of 7. This is because in neutral water, the concentration of H3O+ ions (from dissociation of water) is equal to the concentration of OH- ions.
Water moves from high to low concentration in a natural system through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement occurs until the concentration of water is equal on both sides of the membrane.
