The concentration of solute in four cells is 0.4 M. They are placed in four separate containers I, II, III and IV, filled with saline water of concentrations 0.1 M, 0.4 M, 2 M and 3 M respectively. In which container will the cell swell?
Answer: (A)
Solution
The cell (0.4 M) will swell only if placed in a solution that is hypotonic relative to it, i.e., a solution of LOWER concentration than 0.4 M. Container I has 0.1 M saline water,
