What will happen to a red blood cell (rbc), which has an internal ion concentration of about 0.9 percent, if it is placed into a beaker of pure water? a) The cell would shrink because the water in the beaker is hypertonic relative to the cytoplasm of the rbc. Ob) Nothing. c) The cell would shrink because the water in the beaker is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the rbc. d) The cell would swell because the water in the beaker is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the rbc.

Solutions

Solutions can be considered as homogeneous mixtures which contain two or more than two chemical substances. The chemical substance which is the greater part is defined as solvent. And the chemical substance that is dissolved in a solvent is referred to as solute. Solution chemistry plays an important role in chemistry since it supports many commercial applications of solutions.
