Question

What happens when blood cells are placed in a solution containing more than 0.9%(mass/volume) sodium chloride?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Saline (solutions) containing more than 0.9%(mass/volume) of sodium chloride is called hypertonic. ... If blood cell is kept in a solution containing more than 0.9% of sodium chloride, the fluid inside the blood cells will flow out because of osmosis. And due to loss of water; blood cells would collapse.
