Question

Term used in reference to an aqueous solution's osmotic pressure (solution has a lower concentration of solutes) is :

• A. chemical pH indicator
• B. acid/base buffer
• C. anhydrous solution
• D. hypotonic solution
• E. supersaturated solution

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

hypotonic solution

(D): Hypotonic solution
A solution can be labeled one of three ways when it is compared to another solution. First, it may be considered an isotonic solution, meaning it has an equal amount of solute and water when compared to another solution. Second, it may be considered a hypertonic solution, meaning it has more solute and less water than another solution. Third, it may be considered a hypotonic solution, meaning it has less solute and more water than another solution
