Physiological saline solution has an osmolarity of 0.30 osmol/L. An aqueous solution of sodium chloride is made by dissoving 29.5 g NaCl in enough water to make a liter of solution. Assuming that the cell membrane is not permeable to its ions, is this NaCl solution hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic to red blood cells? If normal red blood cells were suspended in this NaCl solution, what would be the expected outcome?|
