Question

8a. what type of solution is shown in the beaker below? *
hypertonic solution
hypotonic solution
isotonic solution

Explanation:

• A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to another solution.
• Here, the beaker has a sucrose concentration of \(0.4M\) and the inside of the circle (representing another solution, e.g., a cell - like structure) has a sucrose concentration of \(1M\).
• Since \(0.4M<1M\), the solution in the beaker has a lower solute (sucrose) concentration.

Answer:

hypotonic solution
