What are isotonic solutions?

Open in App

Solution

Isotonic solutions are solutions having same osmotic pressure. 1.0 M glucose solution is isotonic with 1.0 M fructose solution as both solutions have same osmotic pressure. When isotonic solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane, there is no flow of solvent in either direction.
