Hypotonic solutions contain a dissolved solute concentration which is lower than that of inside the cell. Recall that normal saline (NS) is 0.9% sodium chloride, weight/volume (90mg/100mL). A hypotonic solution would have less than 0.9% (or less than 90mg/100mL). A typical hypotonic solution used in hospitals is 1/2 NS, or in certain circumstances, 1/4NS (which pharmacists usually round to 0.3% NaCl).
To think about it biologically, if you were to drop a red blood cell into a hypotonic solution, the cell would engorge with water because its salt concentration is much higher than that of the surrounding environment.
What else can I help you with?
If a patient has edema swollen hands and feet would you give them hypertonic or hypotonic solution?
If a patient has edema with swollen hands and feet, you would typically give them a hypertonic solution. Hypertonic solutions help to draw excess fluid out of the tissues and into the bloodstream, reducing swelling.
How salt effects water?
Since salt water is hypertonic to the plant cell, the water would move into the hypertonic solution (extracellular) and out of the hypotonic plant cell. The cells would lose water and it would die.
