A 5% D-glucose solution would be considered hypertonic.
True
False
solution is a mixture of 2 substance, one is solute and other is solvent.
Solute is a substance dissolve in the solvent
For example – for making lemonade, water is solvent and lemon, sugar, salt are solute.
Hypertonic solution
When the concentration of solute more in the solution, and make the solution concentrated.
For example, squash, concentrated syrups, 5% dextrose with 0.45% NaCl, etc.
Hypotonic solution
When the concentration of solute is low in the solution.
Example –2.5% dextrose water.
Isotonic solution
When the concentration of solute and solvent is equal in solution is called isotonic solution.
Example-ringer lactate solution.
Q ANS- FALSE
5% dextrose glucose solution – it is a solution of dextrose(sugar) in water, it is a isotonic solution. Solvent is water and solute is sugar. both mixed up and make isotonic solution.
If their concentration is high like 10% then it would consider hypertonic solution or 5% dextrose solution in 0.45% NaCl is also hypertonic.
