When a red blood cell is surrounded by a hypotonic solution what happens to the cell?

Hypertonic solution is the solution which contain more solute in it as compare to the cell internal solution now as the law of diffusion the solvent moves from low concentration of solute to high conc of solute so the solvent move out from the cell to the solution and cell ultimately will shrink

Solution that causes a cell to swell?

A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
