In an isotonic solution ready to be infused in a human body the concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) is 9 grams for 1 liter of sterile plain water (H2O).

What is in an isotonic glucose solution?

Isotonic solution is very close to sea water in composition and also concentration. Glucose isotonic solution is an electrolyte solution used for re-hydration. It contains salt, water and glucose.


Is 10 percent of NaCl isotonic?

No, it is far from isotonic. there's even more salt in it than in ocean water (3%).A typical home recipe for an isotonic solution, used for nasal spray, consists of 1⁄2 litre of water, 4 to 5 grams (1 teaspoon) of salt. This is about 10 grams per Litre or 1 % NOT 10%


Is sodium chloride saline solution?

no, sodium chloride is the chemical name for table salt.


What does low concentration mean?

The low concentration can be 'a particular thing is present in low quantity'.... same way how low concentration of salt in water means low quantity of salt in water.....it is used in biology......for hypertonic solution, isotonic solution, hypotonic solution..........


What is the biology term of isotonic?

If you're asking about what the term isotonic means...there are three basic types of solutions- Hypertonic, Hypotonic and Isotonic Hypertonic Solutions are solutions that contain more solute than the other solution in question. Hypotonic solutions are less concentrated with solute than the other solution (When i refer to the "other solution" usually when you talk about isotonic solutions etc, you are talking about it in reference to another solution) Isotonic solutions are solutions that contain an EQUAL amount of solute with the other solution and the solute diffuses equally from one solution to the other... SOrry if anything is innaccurate, but a proper definition (other than mine) shouldn't be hard to get once you understand this...


What is the salt solution which is isotonic to animal cell in general laboratory procedure?

The salt solution used as a basis in most laboratory procedures is a solution known as saline. It's the same fluid used in contact solution and used to keep a person hydrated (or to rehydrate them) in a hospital.


What is hypertonic?

Isotonic solution: A solution that has the same solute concentration as the cells and blood. Isotonic solutions are commonly used as intravenously infused fluids in hospitalized patients.when a cell is in a isotonic environment , it means the the amount (concentration) of the solutes in the solution and the amount (concentrarion) of solutes in the cell itself is Equal.So both the solution and Cell have EQUAL amount or Equal concentration of SOLUTES (like salt, sugar, Na+ etc) .ExampleIf the cell has 50% salt or any solutesand you place the cell in a solution that has 50% salt or any solutesthen you can say that the cell is in Isotonic Environment. There will be no change in cell's shape.But if cell has 30% salt and you place the cell in a solution that has 70% saltthen the cell is in Hypertonic solution. Then the water will move out of cell into solution to achieve equilibrium through osmosis. the cell will shrink.And If the cell has 80% salt and you place the cell in a solution that has 20% salt then the cell is in Hypotonic solution. Then water will move out of solution and come into cell through osmosis to achieve equilbrium and the cell will swell( cell will be come bigger) .


What concentration of salt solution should be used for intravenous drips?

0.9


What is the term used to describe a solution that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution?

Lower concentration of solute is known as the hypotonic solution. The solution with a higher concentration of solute is the hypertonic solution. One with equal solute in solution and whatever its being compared with is known as the isotonic solution.

What is the Name of one of the isotonic solution used in lab?

Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution.


Is isotonic better than hypotonic and hypertonic?

Yes if you are speaking about use with blood. An isotonic solution has the same concentration of specific elements as you blood preventing cellular damage. If you used a hypertonic solution all the water would leave the cell and it would crenate. If you use a hypotonic solution water would move into the cell quickly and the cell would burst (lyse).
