isotonic- Solution has (liquid mixture) an equal concentration compared to something.
hypertonic-more energy when hyper, more concentration 'higher' than something else.
hypotonic-low concentration.
Then, Mr. Finley drew an ice tea example using hypotonic and hypertonic to compare. After that, we did an exampe of our own.
Mr. Finley gave us a problem in which we had a small cap of solution and a large jug. We had to figure out whether, compared to B, A was isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic. We made the amount of salt and water for each A and B into fractions. A, was 0.2g/1mL. We reduced that to 2g/10mL and finally reduced that to 1g/5mL. B was 4g/20mL, we reduced that to 1g/5mL. Tomorrow, we are going to do the lab.
