Question

A dilute solution is called hypertonic solution.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Movement of water from its higher concentration to its lower concentration via a semi permeable membrane is called osmosis.
2. It take place only in liquid medium.
3. Solvent alone undergo diffusion across the semi permeable membrane.
4. Rate of osmosis depends upon the concentration and type of solutes.
5. There are three type of osmotic solutions:

1. Hypotonic-- dilute solution with low osmotic concentration compared to another solution.
2. Hypertonic – concentrated solution with high osmotic concentration compared to other solutions.
3. Isotonic—same osmotic concentration as that of another solution.

Thus, the given statement is false.
