Chapter 3, Problem 1RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The solutions which have water as solvent can be classified based on the amount of solutes dissolved into three different types; isotonic solution, hypotonic solution, and hypertonic solution. The isotonic solution contains the equal amount of solvent as well as solute and is said to be a balanced solution. The hypotonic solution contains lesser amount of solute concentration and the hypertonic solution contains the higher amounts of solute than solvent concentrations.
