➢ The cell will: *expand and possibly burst* <OR> *shrink and get smaller* <OR> *stay the same*
➢ The solution is_____________________
➢ Water will flow _____________________ 40% NaCI
➢ The cell will ______________________ 60% H20

Answer 1

To analyze the given conditions of a solution with 40% NaCl and 60% water, we need to determine whether this solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic compared to the inside of a typical cell (which has an approximate saline concentration of around 0.9% NaCl).

1. The solution is: Hypertonic (40% NaCl is a very high concentration of solute compared to the saline concentration in the cell).

2. Water will flow: out of the cell (water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (inside the cell) to an area of higher solute concentration (the hypertonic solution)).

3. The cell will: shrink and get smaller (as water leaves the cell, it loses volume and shrinks).

So, summarizing:

• The solution is hypertonic.
• Water will flow out of the cell.
• The cell will shrink and get smaller.
