Question

Define isotonic solutions

Definition

Solution 1

Isotonic solutions: Two or more solutions exerting the same osmotic pressure are
called isotonic solutions.

eg. 0.05 M (3.0 g L−1) urea solution and 0.05 M (17.19 g L−1) sucrose solution are
isotonic because their osmotic pressures are the same. If these solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane, there is no flow of solvent in either direction.

Solution 2

Two solutions having the same osmotic pressure at a given temperature are called isotonic solutions.
