Indicate the relative osmolarities of the following solutions.

Solution a: 2 osmolar NaCl
Solution b: 1 molar NaCl
Solution c: 900 milliosmolar glucose
A. a is ________ osmotic to b.
B. b is ________ osmotic to a.
C. c is ________ osmotic to a.
D. a is ________ osmotic to c.
E. b is ________ osmotic to c.
F. c is ________ osmotic to b.



This is easier to answer if all three solutions are described in equivalent terms. Solution b is 2 osmolar, because of
the dissociation of sodium and chloride. Solution c is 0.9 osmolar.
A. iso
B. iso
C. hypo
D. hyper
E. hyper
F. hypo
