* 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.
