### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Isotonic Solutions**: - Isotonic solutions are defined as solutions that have the same osmolarity or solute concentration. This means that the concentration of solutes (particles dissolved in the solution) is equal in both solutions being compared. 2. **Understanding Osmolarity**: - Osmolarity is a measure of the total concentration of solute particles in a solution. When two solutions have the same osmolarity, they exert the same osmotic pressure. ...

What are isotones?

The weights of solutes present in two isotonic solutions A and B are in the ratio 2:3. If the solutes are non-electrolytes, how are their molecular weights related ?

Assertion (A): The elevation in boiling point for two isotonic solutions may not be same. Reason (R ): The boiling point depends upon the concentration of the solute.

If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, what will occur?

Each question contains STATEMENT-I(Assertion) and STATEMENT-2(Reason).the statement carefully and mark the correct answer according to the instruction given below: STATEMENT - 1 : Isotonic solutions must have the same molar concentration. STATEMENT - 2 : Solution which have the same osmotic pressure are known as isotonic solution.

What are isotones ? Explain with examples.

The osomotic pressure pi depends on the molar concentration of the solution (pi=CRT) . If two solutions are of equal solute concentration and, hence, have the same omotic pressure, they are said to be isotonic. If two solutions are of unequal osmotic pressures, the more concentrated solution is said to be hypertonic and the more diluted solution is described as hypotonic. Osmosis is the major mechanism for transporting water upward in the plants. Answer the following questions: What would be the percent strength of solution of urea that would be isotonic with 4.5% solution of glucose?
