### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Isotonic Solutions**: Isotonic solutions are defined as solutions that have the same osmotic pressure. The term "iso" means equal, indicating that the osmotic pressures of the solutions are equal. 2. **Understanding Osmotic Pressure**: Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent the flow of solvent molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. In isotonic solutions, since the osmotic pressures are equal, there is no net movement of solvent molecules between the two solutions. ...
