Question

Given that blood exerts the same osmotic pressure as a 0.15 M NaCl solution, which solution could be the isotonic solution

Answer 1

Answer:

0.15 (M) of NaCl            

Explanation:

An isotonic solution is defined as the solution having the same osmolarity, or the same solute concentration, as the another solution. If the two solutions are to be separated by any semipermeable membrane, then water will start flowing in equal parts from each solution and also into the other.  

In the context, since it is given that the red blood cells exerts the same osmotic pressure as a 0.15 (M) of NaCl solution.

Thus, 0.15 (M) of NaCl is a isotonic solution.
