Question
Chapter 5, Problem 8SQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason that it is not enough to say that a solution is “hypertonic”.
Introduction:
The movement of water across the selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis. The substance that is dissolved in a liquid is known as solute and the liquid in which solute is dissolved is known as solvent.

Students have asked these similar questions
A solution that is described by the term hypertonic means that it is
What type of crystalloids (isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic) are:
1. 5% dextrose in 0.9% NaCl solution
2. 4% dextrose in 0.18% NaCl solution
You fill a bag made of
semipermeable membrane with a .5 mol/litre solution of sugar, seal it and immerse it into a .3mol/litre solution of salt and water. Which description best fits what will happen.
1) The environment is hypertonic to the contents, so the bag will shrink as water leaves the bag.
2)The environment is hypotonic to the contents, so the bag will expand as water enters the bag.
3) The environment is hypertonic to the contents, so the bag will expand as water enters the bag.
4) The environment is hypotonic to the contents, so the bag will shrink as water leaves the bag.

It is important to clean them daily using a sterile, isotonic cleaning solution. The concentration of solutes in the cleaning solution is the same as the concentration of the hydrogel in the contact lens. What would happen if instead of an isotonic cleaning solution, soft contact lenses are cleaned with water? (A) The soft contact lenses will shrink because it will remove too much water by osmosis. B The soft contact lenses will shrink because too much water is absorbed by osmosis. The soft contact lenses will swell and change shape because too much water is absorbed by osmosis. The soft contact lenses will swell and change shape because too much water is removed by osmosis.arrow_forward
