Question

Which solution can be called hypotonic?
(a) 0.1 m NaCl (aq)
(b) 0.1 m vis (aq)
(c) 0.1 m Na2SO4 (aq)
(d) 0.1 m FeCl3 (aq)​

Answer 1

Answer:

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes than another solution. In biology, a solution outside of a cell is called hypotonic if it has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol. Due to osmotic pressure, water diffuses into the cell, and the cell often appears turgid, or bloated.
