Explanation:
A hypotonic solution is a solution that contains less solute than the cell which is placed in it. If a cell with a NaCl concentration is placed in a solution of distilled water, which is pure water with no dissolved substances it, the solution on the outside of the cell is 100% water and 0% NaCl. Inside of the cell, the solution is 99.1% water and 0.9% NaCL. Water, again, goes from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. So water goes from the distilled water solution to the inside of the cell. As a consequence, the cell swells up and possibly bursts. Thus, putting a cell with solute in a distilled water solution will cause swelling and possible bursting of the cell.
