If solution x has a 2% concentration of nacl and solution y has an 8% concentration of nacl, which of the following statements is correct?
a. solution x is hypotonic to solution y.
b. solution x has a higher osmotic pressure than solution y.
c. solution x has a lower concentration of water than solution y.
d. solution x is hypertonic to solution y.
e. solution x has a higher solute concentration than solution y.

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, solution X has 2% concentration of NaCl while solution Y has 8% concentration, this implies that solution X is hypotonic compare to solution Y.

A solution is said to be hypotonic when it contains a lower amount of solute and higher concentration of water when compared to another solution.

Thus, in comparison with Y solution, X solution is hypotonic, it has lower osmotic pressure, higher concentration of water (98%) and lower concentration of solute (2%).

Solution Y is hypertonic, has higher osmotic pressure, lower concentration of water (92%) and higher concentration of solute (8%).
