Hypotonic is a concentration of less solutes compared to that of another solution.
vinegar is a hypotonic solution if you would like an example take an egg and put it in to a glass of vinegar and the egg will swell.
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the solute.
If we take a example of cell then if the solution outside the cell containing less solutes as compare to inside of cell then that solution is hypotonic and if the solution outside the cell contain more solute concentration then it is hypertonic solution
Hypotonic Solution
Hypotonic is a relative term i.e when you say a hypotonic(less concentration of electrolyte or solute in it) solution it is in comparision with other solution. Here it is in comparision with the fluid of the cell. As you say a hypotonic solution is around the cell here, therefore by the process of osmosis, fluid from the cell will drain out resulting it to shrink since solution travels from high concentration (cell) to lower concentration of solute(in hypotonic solution). example: A grape kept in honey shrinks Cell can swell and burst if there is a hypertonic solution around it. example: Raisin kept in water swells
Distilled water.
It is an example of hypotonic solution and the raisins will swell up.
Yes salt is hypotonic.
The hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than that of the fluid in the cell. Osmosis keeps trying to bring the concentrations into equilibrium until the cell bursts.
vinegar is hypotonic
hypotonic
The solution is hypotonic when it is outside of the cell.
The solution in the experiment is hypotonic.
hypertonic hypertonic
hypotonic
vinegar is a hypotonic solution if you would like an example take an egg and put it in to a glass of vinegar and the egg will swell.
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
