Explanation:

A hypertonic solution is a particular type of solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell.

Common Hypertonic Solutions

Here are a few examples:

Saline solution, or a solution that contains salts, is hypertonic. This type of hypertonic solution is extremely common. For instance, saline solutions are often used in the medical field, as well as in contact lens fluid, to help keep contact lenses clean and free from dust and pollutants.

A solution of 5% dextrose (sugar) and 0.45% sodium chloride is an example of a hypertonic solution - so is a solution of 5% dextrose and 0.9% sodium chloride. Both of these hypertonic solutions are administered in IV drips in hospitals to nourish the body of a sick and injured person who cannot consume food or liquids themselves, or to individuals who happen to be dehydrated.

If a cell contains a concentration of 75% sodium chloride (NaCl), then any solution with a higher concentration of sodium chloride is hypertonic to it. This is true of all hypertonic solutions.

A hypertonic sodium chloride solution is a solution that has a higher combination of both sodium and chloride than the amounts of sodium and chloride typically contained in the blood plasma of the individual to which the solution is administered.

Corn syrup is a hypertonic solution in relation to the cells within a living organism, because the corn syrup solution contains more solutes inside of it than the body cells.
