The type of solution formed is hypertonic.

<h3>What are hypertonic solutions?</h3>

Hypertonic solutions are solutions with higher dissolved solutes as compared to the sap of the cells suspended in them.

Epsom salt is made up largely of magnesium sulfate. Thus, a solution formed by dissolving Epsom salt is water will have more magnesium in it than the cells of the part of the body soaked in it.  

Hence, such a solution is hypertonic.

What is the effect of sickle-cell anemia?
belka [17]

Answer: Option C.

Inefficient oxygen transportation.

Explanation:

Red blood cells function to transport oxygen in the blood because of the haemoglobin molecule present in them.

When does the chunk of ice have the most potential energy?
klasskru [66]

An enormous rift in one of Antarctica’s largest ice shelves grew dramatically over the past month, and a chunk nearly the size of Delaware could break away as soon as later this winter, British scientists reported this week.

If this happens, it could accelerate a further breakup of the ice shelf, essentially removing a massive cork of ice that keeps some of Antarctica’s glaciers from flowing into the ocean.
