Chapter 6, Problem 4CP

Summary Introduction

To review:

The definition of osmosis and conditions required for osmosis along with the definition of osmolality and osmotic pressure.

Introduction:

The three types of osmotic solutions are:

Isotonic solution- Two different solutions sharing the same osmotic pressure are known as isotonic solutions. Hypotonic solution is a solution that bears a lower osmotic pressure when compared to another solution. Hypertonic solution is a type of solution that has a greater concentration of solute on outside when considered inside.
