Given that blood exerts the same osmotic pressure as a 0.15 M NaCl solution, which solution could be the hypertonic solution?/search?

a. 0.68 M NaCl solution
b. 0.15 M NaCl solution
c. 0.008 M NaCl solution

Answer:

a. 0.68 M NaCl solution

Explanation:

The tonicity of a solution can either be hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic. Hypertonic solution is a solution which possesses a higher concentration of solute in relation to another solution.

According to this question, a solution is said to contain 0.15 M NaCl solute. This means that a solution that will be hypertonic to this solution will have a much more concentration of solute, which based on the options provided is the 0.68 M NaCl solution.
