Question

Answer the following.

What are isotonic and hypertonic solutions?

Answer in Brief

Solution

  1. Isotonic solutions: Two or more solutions having the same osmotic pressure are said to be isotonic solutions.
    e.g. For example, 0.1 M urea solution and 0.1 M sucrose solution are isotonic because their osmotic pressures are equal. Such solutions have the same molar concentrations but different concentrations in g/L. If these solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane, there is no flow of solvent in either direction.
  2. Hypertonic solution: If two solutions have unequal osmotic pressures, the more concentrated solution with higher osmotic pressure is said to be the hypertonic solution.
    e.g. For example, if osmotic pressure of sucrose solution is higher than that of urea solution, the sucrose solution is hypertonic to urea solution.
