Computer the movement of the 20 molasses solution to that of

Computer the movement of the 20% molasses solution to that of the 25% solution. Was the distance traveled by the two solutions predictable? Explain. Enter your date in this table. Which solution is isotonic? Which solution are hypotonic? Which solutions are hypertonic?

Solution

Molality

Miliosmolality

Visual appearance of RBCs

1.7m

3400mOsm

It is a hypertonic solution for RBCs so cell will shrink in this solution.

0.59m

1180mOsm

It is a hypertonic solution for RBCs so cell will shrink in this solution.

0.145m

290mOsm

It is an isotonic solution for RBCs so cell will not change it’s appearance.

0.076m

152mOsm

It is a hypotonic solution for RBCs so cell will swell in this solution.

0.034m

68mOsm

It is a hypotonic solution for RBCs so cell will swell in this solution.

2. Isotonic solution is the solution having same salt concentration in comparison to other. 0.85g/dL NaCl is isotonic solution.

3. Hypotonic solution is the solution having less salt concentration in comparison to other. 0.45g/dL NaCl and 0.2g/dL NaCl are hypotonic solutions.

4. Hypertonic solution the solution having more salt concentration in comparison to other. 10g/dL NaCl and 3.5g/dL NaCl are hypertonic solutions.

	Molality	Miliosmolality	Visual appearance of RBCs
10g/dL NaCl	1.7m	3400mOsm	It is a hypertonic solution for RBCs so cell will shrink in this solution.
3.5g/dL NaCl	0.59m	1180mOsm	It is a hypertonic solution for RBCs so cell will shrink in this solution.
0.85g/dL NaCl	0.145m	290mOsm	It is an isotonic solution for RBCs so cell will not change it’s appearance.
0.45g/dL NaCl	0.076m	152mOsm	It is a hypotonic solution for RBCs so cell will swell in this solution.
0.2g/dL NaCl	0.034m	68mOsm	It is a hypotonic solution for RBCs so cell will swell in this solution.
