When a cell is immersed in a hypotonic solution, the volume of the cell will rise as it will cause will be a net inflow of water inside the cell. If the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower as compared to inside the cell and when the solutes are not able to cross the membrane, then the solution is called hypotonic to the given cell.

The ability of an extracellular solution to induce water to osmotically enter or depart a cell is known as tonicity.

Three terms—hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic—are employed in order to evaluate if a solution would cause water to move into or out of a cell:

  • If a cell is immersed in a hypertonic solution, it will lose volume because there will be a net flow of water out of the cell.
  • A cell will shrink if it is submerged in a hypertonic solution because water will escape the cell.
  • Since there is no net water movement in an isotonic environment, the cell's size remains constant.
  • A cell will absorb water and swell when it is exposed to a hypotonic environment.

coldgirl [10]
It is found that more than beta dicarbonyl compounds have more than 75 % concentration in Enol form and remaining in Keto form.

Reason:
             This excess of Enol form can be explained due to extra stability of this isomer. It is found that the enol form is being stabilized by the interamolecular interactions i.e. Hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group (acting as Hydrogen Bond Donor) and Carbonyl Oxygen (Hydrogen Bond Acceptor).
