What are isotonic,hypertonic and hypotonic solutions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Solutions having equimolar concentration and thus having same osmotic pressure at same temperature are called isotonic solutions. if solution A has more osmotic pressure than B, then solution A is hypertonic to solution B and solutions B is hypotonic to solutions A

What are Isotones ?

These questions consist of two statements each,printed as Assertion and Reason.While asnwering these questions you are required to chose any one of the following four responses. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason in correct explanation of Assertion. If both assertion and Reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of Assertion. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. If both Assertion and Reason are false. Assertion:In osmosis solvent moves through a semipermeable membrane from a place of lower diffusion pressure a place of higher diffusion pressure. Reason:It is due to migration of solvent from hypertonic solution to hypotonic solution through a semipermeter membrane.
