  • Hypertonic vs. Hypotonic: Comparing 2% and 4% Salt Solutions
    You're asking about the tonicity of a 2% salt solution compared to a 4% salt solution. Here's the breakdown:

    * Hypertonic: A solution with a higher concentration of solutes (like salt) compared to another solution.

    * Hypotonic: A solution with a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution.

    * Isotonic: Solutions with equal concentrations of solutes.

    In this case:

    * The 2% salt solution has a lower concentration of salt than the 4% salt solution.

    * Therefore, the 2% salt solution is hypotonic to the 4% salt solution.
