Which of the following aqueous solutions of Na₂SO₄ is hypotonic with respect to a 0.15 M NaCl solution? A) 0.05 M B) 0.10 M C) 0.15 M D) none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if a solution is hypotonic compared to another solution, we need to compare their respective concentrations of solutes. In this case, we are comparing Na₂SO₄ to a 0.15 M NaCl solution. A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes than the reference solution (0.15 M NaCl), so we need to look for an answer choice with a concentration lower than 0.15 M. Option A is the only choice that has a lower concentration than 0.15 M, so it is the best choice.
