Which of the following solutions is hypotonic with fluids in RBC (Assume that isotonic solid substance completley dissociattes in the solution?
-0.2 M NaCl
-0.1 M NaCL
-0.18M NaCL
-GIVEN ALL
And HOW?
Two solution are said to be isotonic when they have same osmotic pressure.
For RBC. isotonic solution is 0.9% by (w/V).
Hypertonic solutions are those solution which have concentration above isotonic solution and hypotonic solutions are the solutions having lower concentration than the isotonic solution .
In terms of molarity, the concentration of isotonic solution for RBC can be determine as follows:
Given 0.9 % solution.
Which means
0.9 g of NaCl in 100 ml of solution
⇒ 1ml contain → 0.9/100 g of NaCl
⇒ 1000 ml contain → 9 g of NaCl
Hence, in one liter, 9 g of NaCl is present.
Number of moles of NaCl in one liter of solution = 9/ 58.5
Hence, the molarity of the solution is 0.15M.
Therefore, solutions having concentration less than 0.15 M are said to be hypotonic for RBC.
Hence, the correct option is B, i.e., 0.1 M solution.
