I believe that Sprite is actually a hypotonic solution. At first, I believed that it was hypertonic until I conducted an experiment in my Biology class in which grapes were exposed to Sprite and White Grape Juice. The grapes in the White Grape Juice showed to be somewhat isotonic and each grape in Sprite had a visible increase in mass. This was weighed with the same scale and materials were the same. I did three trials and all trials displayed a hypotonic result from Sprite, thus my hypothesis which was that the grapes in Sprite would shrivel up and decrease in mass because Sprite is a hypertonic solution, was not supported by my data. Although the trials were few in number, the end result for each one appeared the same. Therefore, I can conclude that Sprite is in fact a hypotonic solution instead of a hypertonic solution as I had first thought.
hypertonic solution
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
No, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrink or crenate.
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of solutes in a solution compared to another solution. In a hypotonic solution, there is a lower concentration of solutes than in the other solution, while in a hypertonic solution, there is a higher concentration of solutes.

"hypertonic"
hypertonic solution
Sugar is hypertonic in a solution.
hypertonic hypertonic
a solution that has a higher osmotic pressure than another solution to which it is compared

Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
The hypertonic solution is being used in the experiment.
I am pretty sure it is a hypertonic solution.
Hypertonic dextrose solution
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
