Chapter 5, Problem 4A
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

A solution is made up of both solute and solvent. Solute is usually a solid and solvent is usually liquid. When the concentration of solute and solvent is equal in and out of the cell, it is said to be in equilibrium condition. If the concentration of both solute and solvent is unequal like in hypo or hypertonic solutions, a cell will always equalize the concentration of both solute and solvent inside and outside the cell membrane by osmosis.
